This needs a bit of retouching but can anyone identify this Oregon spider? Kind of matches the Iris.

That's a female crab spider. They tend to hang out on the underside of the petals and wait for pollinating insects (or hymenoptera in this case). Sounds/ vibrations alert them. The pink in the body comes from the food they eat.

P.S. Nice shot!
