I plead Guilty! Ok so I don't normally interfere, I am guilty of it this time, and I'm not proud of it... Walking along and this Comma Butterfly wizzes by our heads, I follow it watching and in Comma's typical showing off, he lands smack in a web. Now it was right beside me, and I could see if was full of crumb, twigs, seeds, half torn up etc, so didn't look like it was still occupado, I quickly accessed that there was no reason for the butterfly to die in vain, even if it was its own fault showing out! I grabbed him out quickly mind you and didn't realize until they had both dropped to the ground that this very attractive spider did indeed live in that web, so the butterfly flew off irradically, probably died anyway and this lovely lady missed a good meal, and from the state of her web she wasn't going to catch a lot! So the moral is...Clean your web spiders, and leave it be Crystal...lol

Thanks to Andy for the ID.
