Comments & ID Thoughts
I've seen this type twice in the vicinity of my home in Gilbert, Arizona. Once 2 or 3 years ago on a yellow daisy flower and this year (2018) on the flower of a Red Bird of Paradise. I believe it to be a yellow crab spider but I'm not certain. I came to to find it and was unsuccessful so I'm submitting it.

Other pictures I’ve seen on the Internet lead me to believe that this is a yellow crab spider (Misumena Vatia).
Definitely looks like a yellow crab spider.
