I would see the crab spider lurking in wait for about a solid month or so, so I think surely it must have been munching on something. But it’s been gone for a while now. It wasn’t the only spider either, some very tiny spiders are even bolder and set up spiderwebs inside the pitcher!
I think both are high risk strategies though, the pitchers sway around a lot when it gets windy here and if you loose your footing and tumble while you’re inside the tube of danger you’ll meet a grim end. Usually the spider would be on kind of like the back or the side of the lid but sometimes it was in the interior and you’d only need to slip up once…
