Um ... a little help here, please?!?!

Russet-tipped Clubtail
Stylurus plagiatus

As I was leaving Palmyra Cove the other day, I came across this sad dragonfly trapped in what appeared to be an orb weaver web (that or a bird-eating spider). I know that we should let nature takes its course, but I figured:

1) It had already stopped moving so it had probably been there a while, and
2) The spider hadn't come to get it yet.

Putting 1 and 2 together, I figured I would be a good Samaritan and free it before it became lunch. It took a little while - the wings were covered pretty well with webs, but I held it by the abdomen while it perched on my finger and I pulled the webs off. After two failed attempts, it managed to lift off high into the trees.

+15 karma (I hope)
