Crab on the leaf?

I was so happy that I could find this little creature, because that was the first time I saw it. And if not because of its movement, I din't think I would notice it. It was so small, and I was trying to photograph another creature beside this little guy, but not notice its presence.

once it move, its bright orange color attract my attention, and I tried my best to photograph it. I really didn't expect to be able to get its photo because of its very small size. But lusky my macro set up could get the subject as well as a bit of detail of its body, eventough it is not as great as the expensive macro set up, especially the expensive macro lens.

What surprise me more is the long front leg that this spider has, which give men the impressiont that this guy might be part of the crab spider family. And that is why I am asking, wherether this is really a crab on the leaf, a crab spider.:)

When I see it more closely I believe this is one of the species from the crab family, but unfortunately I could not find the exact species name of the spider. It might be also that this spider is just a juvenile version of the spider, that make it harder to identify the species.

But oevrall, this is such a abeutiful spider for sure, and the long front leg make it even more interesting.

The long front legs reminds me of the cartoons I watched back in the days with characters that had exaggeratedly long legs to quickly walk through fences and buildings :D
