a bunch of these were semi-hovering near a compost heap, and flashing their highly reflective upper abdomen.
I cooled it down to photograph it, but it flew away later > not dead.

I brought a Dasychira chekiangensis caterpillar home and let it pupate, turns out it was already carrying the seed of this one …
The caterpillar started to pupate on April 16.
I used the locale of the original observation here, because that's where it would have hatched.

Description
Portia was sitting next to a Cyclosa web. Took a few minutes waiting, then jumped straight at the Cyclosa in the center of the web, killing it. Spent 10-20 in the web center, then dropped down to a branch, continuing to digest. More than half an hour later, was still at the same position, digesting.
I'm making this observation "captive" because I took this Portia home for pictures, and released it here the day after.
