Parnassius apollo
After spending 15 minutes sipping from a flower, this Apollo butterfly flew off, straight into a spider's web. I think the spider injected it (Photo1), but after taking a couple of photos I released it from the web and it flew off a short distance. After 30 secs, it flew off again, but fell to the ground. Anyone know if this spider's venom is fatal, or just paralysis for a period of time?
