Crab spider

No butterflies on my buddleia but plenty of bees and this spider was waiting to ambush one. They don’t spin webs like other spiders but lie in wait for a bee or a fly to land and then they grab the prey with their pincer like front legs. Apparently they can change their colour to match their surroundings but I’ve only seen white or yellow ones on the buddleia
