Crab Spider in Butterfly-Weed

I think there should be a saying like "He has the patience of a crab spider." They just sit there, totally still, waiting for a random flying insect that's not too big to land in precisely the right spot. This was the first time I recall ever seeing one in a butterfly-weed. Photographed in the Holland Sand Prairie State Natural Area near Holmen, Wisconsin.
