My up and over garage door was open when this hapless Crane Fly flew in and over my shoulder straight to the garage rear window and into the Spider’s web. The rest, as they say, is history.
Taken yesterday 27/09/2010 at 1218 Hrs
Do look large + F11 if you can bare it
Many thanks for all C&Cs.

Amazing set of superbly-detailed macro captures, Rob. I will stick to V1, as my favorite, since the "others, are too violent & warlike. LOL...Peter
