I found a spider I’ve never seen before

Can anyone tell me what spider this is please? I’ve just found it in the house and put outside instead of destroying it.

Looks like a crab spider. We get them occasionally.

Edit - here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibellus the one in the picture looks like yours

Nursery Web spider..the female carries her egg sac in her jaws, just before the eggs hatch she builds a silk tent.

Running crab spider or flower crab spider. Totally harmless.

Cute, aren't they?

Looks like it’s a nursery web spider. First time I’ve seen one. It was in some crocs and there was a thick white web on the underside of it. Glad I put it back outside.
