Entangled off life

[Prajwal J Ullal]

ID: mayfly

Spotted this unfortunate beauty all tangled in the web of an orb weaver, though the spider wasn’t visible on it, the location and the extended body of the fly seemed very intriguing and interesting. It was interesting to note/observe the entangled prey, especially with its elongated tail that fluttered with he light breeze, and the length of it, in comparison to its body length, was too long, almost more than its extended length

Wow lovely capture. Its being held up by such thin web. Agree the tails do look even larger that its body. Good details. The colours on the body and the green on the wings add to the composition. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent shot. Love the reflection on the wing. Is there any sensor dust spot near the juncture of the threads at at the left part? TFS

This looks nice. The body internals will simply be sucked out by the spider. All one sees later is the shell. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
