Skipper falls prey to crab spider... When I first saw it, this crab spider had just captured its prey, a skipper butterfly (family Hesperiidae), on the top surface of the leaf. However, it dragged its victim, which was much larger than itself, to the bottom surface of the leaf when I got close to photograph it. I left it to finish its meal after taking this picture.
