For the next two weeks I will be unable to do a daily posting. 

 I will not be putting my camera away though! 

Watch this space.... :)

At first I thought this was little seed, but it turned out to be a dead bug.

It looked as if it was dipped in paint and I decided to take a closer look.

These macro shots show that it was carefully covered in very fine strands of silk.

It reminds me of a cocoon of a Silk Worm. Surely this could not be have been done by a Spider?

Perhaps it is the work of a worm?  If so, why?

Although this poor Dragon Fly had half a body and one wing missing, it was still alive. 

A bird must have snapped at it in flight.
