I've seen similar things here. A couple of years ago I was sneaking up on a
Sachem to try and get a close-up shot. If was perfectly perched on a Zinna and
let me get extremely close. After a few shots I realized something wasn't quite
right which is when I spotted the Crab Spider that was holding it.
These spiders are extremely successful at this sort of ambush hunting. After
the
encounter mentioned above, I watched this spider and saw that it caught 1 to 2
Sachems everyday for the next 10 days. Then is disappeared.

I kept wondering why this skipper was in a weird position and didn't fly
away...
