Crab Spider

I did a garden safari this afternoon and this small spider showed up on a privet leaf. I was very curious about it because it held the first two legs together on each side, and these were held in a swept back position which looked most unnatural.
I identified it later as a female Crab spider Philodromus dispar (the male is black), so called because the second leg is longer than the first.
