Next, a spider with excellent camo on this helianthus - wild sunflower. Creepy!

The first one is a butterfly, the Gray Hairstreak, Strymon melinus:

Thanks :) Now for the spider...

West Pottsgrove, PA(Zone 6b)

Probably the white-banded crab spider, Misumenoides formosipes. There are three genera that have yellow crab spiders, but one has kind of an 'eyebrow' under the eyes that looks like your spider. To me, anyway.

I think that's it. Thanks.
