What spider is this.

Symi, Greece

Can anyone tell me what kind of spider this is please? I live in Symi Dodecanese Greece. I found it on a photo walk i do in may this year. it is about the size of my small finger nail (pinky.) It was in some bushes about a mile away from the sea. When i first saw it i thought it was a ladybird but i have looked at ladybird spiders and it's not that. Any ideas would be welcome because to be honest, i haven't a clue.

It's Synema globosum, a highly variable crab spider (family Thomisidae) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synema_globosum
