I think this Crab Spider is Misumenops celer. Anyone else hazzard a guess? Thanks :-)

Possible asperata
I think this is probably Mecaphesa asperata. The abdomenal pattern looks like a known M. asperata pattern that has been smudged out. That smudging out might make it something other than asperata though. The broad allatal stripes peg it as asperata. I'm thinking this goes under "possible asperata."
