Crab Spider and Bog Orchid

Crab Spider and Bog Orchid
Taking photos of Bog Orchids in Kootenay National Park in British Columbia, we found this Crab Spider hiding out among the flowers. One of the insets shows another Crab Spider with a captured moth and the second inset shows a Spittle Bug, though only the spittle and not the bug is visible. The orchid is Platanthera huronensis, the Tall Northern Bog Orchid, very common in the Canadian Rockies.
