In late summer these spiders can be found on daisy type plants. I've seen them on phlox as well. They do appear in different colors, often matching the bloom color of their chosen plant. They often sit either just under the flower petals, or right up against the bud on top of the petals. A sure sign they are around is dessicated insects attached to the flowers petals. It took me a while to notice them as they are tiny, barely 1 cm across for many of them. All the pictures I had seen were greatly magnified as these spiders are unlikely to be noticed with a casual look. They sit with their four front legs spread wide resembling crabs.
