[Ctleps-l] Sachems preyed upon by Goldenrod Spiders

[Stephen Spector]

9/4/13. From Steve Spector, around noon, at Nettleton Pond in Milford, with John Oshlick, found 2 unmoving female Sachems, seemingly nectaring on Goldenrod.  Upon closer inspection including turning them over, we found that both were dead and being eaten by Goldenrod Spiders (at least that's my tentative ID).  A few photos are at stevesbirds.blogspot.com.
