Someone had preyed on this Clouded Sulphur, but who?
Usually when butterflies are immobilized and hanging upside down on a flower, a
close examination reveals a spider's legs or one or two of the strange body parts of the predatory Jagged Ambush Bug. But in this case I couldn't find any trace of the real predator. The other creatures that appear here--the flies and the owlet moth--are after
nectar, not butterfly innards. The only remaining suspect is the owner of that
club-shaped, multi-partite antenna at the end.
