I agree
that this is Pisaurina dubia. There are some running crab spiders that look very similar (genus Tibellus), but the species I'm thinking of doesn't have that media white "tuft" as pictured. And I also agree that it's a very cute spider. I love Pisaurids.

Pisaurina dubia?


The spider experts will be able to say for sure.

I bet you're right. It's not
I bet you're right. It's not the best photo, but if you look closely you can see a hint of the pointy tuft of white hair on its . . . forehead (sorry experts).
