Spider (with butterfly)

Description:

While on a hike in Western Montana, we came across this beautiful spider and its fresh prey. It was busy wrapping up this butterfly and then moved it under a leaf which you can see in the last picture.

Habitat:

We came across this scene in Western Montana near a beautiful stream.

Notes:

I don't know what kind of spider this is, but the butterfly looks like it might be a swallowtail. I'd love to get more info!
