Saving a dragonfly part 2
Saving the wildlife one dragonfly at a time... part 2 unwrapping
Using sharp-pointed tweezers I delicately peeled and pulled the sticky spider web off the body, wings and head of this dragonfly. However I don't think she is very well. Perhaps the spider bit her, or being wrapped up for a few hours, followed by not-so-delicate handling may have been a bit much.
