Answer 2

if it has pink markings, it's probably a female Goldenrod Crab Spider. they are called this becasue they are usually found handing out on goldenrod (solidago) flowers, so you probably found it in your flower garden. they are pretty much harmless to humans and they aren't at all aggressive. here's a picture of the spider, to make sure we're talking about the same one http://magickcanoe.com/spiders/m-vatia-o...

hope this helps.
