Spider eats Spider

We experienced extremely hot weather on Christmas day that ended in 

quite a severe storm in the afternoon. At about 4pm the electricity went off (the norm here during a storm) and we decided to make our way back home.  When I brought the car closer for my Mom, I noticed this feast on the fender. 

The electricity did not come on during the night as hoped.

Today I bring you a photo of the Spider that delivered my Christmas Tree ;)

Wishing all the visitors to this blog a happy and joyful Christmas!

Colourful and unidentified.

Is it a Moth? Is it a Butterfly? My guess is Butterfly, but I could be wrong.

It has hooked antennae like a Skipper or Police Butterfly. Perhaps it is related.

Whenever I approached it would take off to feed on the other side of the shrub.

To get this shot, I had to stand at quite a distance and zoom in.

Unfortunately it turned out to be a rather noisy shot :(
