I don't know if this is going to be possible to id, but maybe a point in the right direction may help me.
I was standing in my garden this afternoon when I saw a small orangey butterfly fly through and get caught in one of the many spider's webs.
I walked to the web to see if I could remove it and I know I probably shouldn't do this, but I have no love for spiders. I would leave anything else, but I just can't can't when it comes to butterflies

Anyway, The spider had already got to it and had sunk his fangs, so there wasn't anything I could do except get a good look at the butterfly which was one I had never seen before. I ran indoors grabbed a book and as I flicked through the pages I realised that the spider had begun to wind the butterfly up.
I ran indoors for the camera but it was too late. The buttefly with wings crumpled up was wound into a silky parcel and a picture would have been absolutely no help.
So, all I can do is describe it and hopefully something will ring a bell with one of the experts and they can point me in the direction of where to look.

The butterfly was small as in approximately the size of a skipper. The body was very light brown. The wings were a very pale orange with a very feint brown mottling. And here is the marking that may help in the id, there was a very large white spot on each of the forewings.
I know that this is a long shot but any help will be very much appreciated. And, if you have made it this far, thanks for reading
