This is a very small spider, maybe 4mm and it was not till I had the pictures on the computer that I noticed it was clutching a bug in the last picture.

Golden Lynx Spider (Oxyopes jacksoni)
Lynx spiders do not make webs but use their silk as a safety line when jumping.
Females suspend their egg sacs from a leaf or branch and guards them till they hatch.
The species Oxyopidae are easily recognized by the spines sticking out of their legs.
