Janet posts for Bob Z, who noticed a large butterfly grounded in our vegetable garden. A closer look revealed why this tiger swallowtail would fly no more. The spider is Misumena vatia, I think. It does not spin a web. Instead, it waits at flowers, ready to grasp unsuspecting insect visitors, such as this butterfly.
