o0o there is beauty also in many ways, although sad to see,
their lives are short and fragile, have to say I am frightened of
them, an irrational fear I know, but I have tried to overcome,
looking at pictures of them it is a little easier for me and allows
me to look and enjoy these delicate creatures colours and
fine detail. How sad ... seems caught in a web maybe, but
well taken and it lives on ;-) through your photography oOo

Yes, it is sad. I found the poor thing caught in a web on a field gate. Beautiful in life but also a certain beauty has been retained.

o0o I am frightened of them as mentioned, but once once got caught
in a web in my garden ... poor things was struggling ... what kicked in ?
I do not know but I had to save the creature ... I just did it ... managed
gentle to get the web off her wings ... she flew away ... I have to admit
I cried with joy ... I hoped the fear would then have left me ... sadly
it did not ... but I did my little bit for nature I hope ;-) and yes there
is beauty even in death ... it sounds odd of course but its true, even
when flowers are starting to die ... roses open their petals to reveal
their innermost secrets ;-) still beautiful ;-) oOo
