    Default Crab Spider - possibly Xysticus cristatus

    You can see the size by the fact she's caught an ant. Not 100% sure of the name - I did find the exact patterning, but it was the only one that photographer hadn't ID'd Although it has some similarities with another type, the top eyes being close to the head apparently makes it more likely to be this sort.
