Slow Death
At first I thought it was a damselfly that got caught in the web of this Argiope versicolor. After looking closely I realized it's a phasmid or commonly known as the stick insect.
Phasmids are very cryptic and can be very difficult to detect visually. But putting a leg into the web of this female Araneid spells certain doom.
