Interesting, I don’t think I’ve seen two Crab Spiders working together before. I think they are Misumenoides formosipes, White-banded Crab Spiders. The white band is under their eyes. It can also be red (Red-banded Crab Spiders) is the same species that has two different common names. They can change their bodies and markings to a variety of colors to match the spot that have chosen for hunting unsuspecting insects. Crab Spiders really seem to like peonies.
