Crab-spider - Latest news

The Crab-Spider was always behind her nest on Wednesday, October 28th.
She was awake and moving. Some hours later, she disappeared and the nest too.
I don’t know if a bird ate her and the eggs, or if she came down to the ground with the cocoon.
I didn’t find anything below the host plant which is now completely dried.

I have to wait for spring.
Maybe she brought the cocoon to a sheltered place? I hope but I’m not sure…

I really enjoyed this observation from August 23rd to October 28th.
