In our garden we have a white peony with traces of pink around the petals. Inside lives a white spider with pink markings.
The spider doesn’t seem to use a web. Flies land on the peony and creep down into the petals where they have very little room for manoeuvre and the spider just rushes in and grabs them.
Isn’t nature wonderful? 
I spent the day sailing and was fairly sure that would be my blip but I spotted the spider as I walked toward the house after getting back from sailing. Serendipity is also wonderful!
The extra photo shows the land as I sail away.
Thanks to Blip, and more specifically "intothe hills", the spider is now identified.  It's the goldenrod crab spider, Misumena vatia.
