Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: Don't mess with Mother Nature .. or, should I -?-, 1 by Magpye

Just found these lil bitty guys munching out on the flower buds of the Butterfly Weed .. which, in itself, is a new one to me. Knew they pigged out on the leaves .. but I suppose it's quite possible, that I'd just never noticed their interest in consuming the buds!

My concern, however .. is what I'd spyballed sitting on the underside of one of the Butterfly Weed leaves, right near by. The spider doesn't strike me, that he'd be up to any good ...

I usually leave Mother Nature to her own .. but should I consider intervening; to increase the odds of the Monarch cats survival. They're already in dire competition with an infestation of Milkweed Bugs this year.

I've been holding out for a day or so, in hopes that the spider may be much more interested in the Milkweed Bugs.

Any knowledgeable input, would be most appreciated ...
