I'm fairly sure this spider is in the Philodromidae family of crab spiders. Maybe it's in the Ebo genus, but I don't dare guess the species. I could also have this ID completely wrong. Any arachnophiles can feel free to correct me. I found this little dude on an apple tree.

I took this with an OM1 and 60mm macro with 26mm tubes.
