Good series of shots Chris - this is a thomisidae (aka flower or crab spider). Nice crisp shots, they do look a bit flat, but that's hard to avoid with such a contrast between the petals, light coloured spider, and dark coloured fly. What you could do is 2 shots from the same RAW - one for spider highlights, one for fly detail, combine them in Photoshop as separate layers and use the brush history to bring in the details (depending on which image you make the background image) of the lighter/darker subject. Best of both worlds.
