Just sitting on my white zinnia minding his own business. You almost missed him if you didn't look closely. He has a shiny tint to him.

This is a crab spider (family Thomisidae), likely in the genus Misumena - see http://www.hiltonpond.org/ThisWeek040608.html

You are right. I thought it was strange that he did not spin a web, but this article cleared that up.

Here is a yellow one on some Dill. It has a little bit of a web going, I enjoyed this one for a few days, but it has moved on and I have not been able to locate it again.
