Caught in the Web

BOB. Spotted this I-don't-know-what caught in a web deep in the grass. Not sure what kind he is with that interesting tail, but he was sure working to get away. Just steady light rain for us still.

[Sue Hecker]

Wow, what an interesting critter!

[Sue Hecker]

I think it's a type of mayfly. maybe. possibly....

[Milanie]

@featherstone26 My guess is you're right - the tails match as do the body markings. Thanks

[Mags]

I agree with Sue! I believe it's a mayfly. They don't live very long. It's a wonderful capture!

[Anne Pancella]

Great shot. Sorry to see him go that way, but I guess they don't very long any way.

[Pat]

wow - interesting - I've not seen anything like this... don't think I'd want to either - nice detail I like you can see all that detail in the wings!

A good meal for a spider

[KV]

Wow... cool capture.

[Jane Pittenger]

Poor thing. I might have been tempted to try to free him. I hope light rain is all you get

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Did he make it, do you know? I somehow doubt it, spider silk seems to increase its hold the more the victim struggles.
Well spotted and captured.

[Allison Maltese]

A nice capture of this captive insect!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Dramatic shot- the struggle of life and death on a very small scale. I always wonder if I should try to free them or not!
