Oh yes d, the crab spiders are the worst for getting butterflies! I see all kinds of spiders around but the ones on my plants are crabs, except on my passionvine and there are other varieties. It's hard to kill them without mutilating a flower or foliage since they can crawl under leaves etc. so a lot of times I will give them a big thump that catches them off guard and sends them flying and hopefully injured or killed them.
