White Crab Spider devours Orange-tip Butterfly

Our Bird Walk was by the River Frome in the meadows along from Maiden Newton this afternoon. Everywhere was so lush on such a glorious day .
Lots of butterflies including a red - admiral and numerous peacocks as well as this poor orange-tip caught by the cunning white crab spider . We thought about rescuing it but knew that a Nature has to take its course.
There were also several beautiful demoiselle damselflies ( see extra) . Idyllic . :))
