Description

This is a sad story. You see, my mother-in-law brought me this ladybug from the garden so that I could take macro photographs, as I love to do. I took quite a number of pictures, and the ladybug was very patient. She didn't move very much, was happy to stand on my hand for a while, and never flew so far that I could not follow with my camera. Then, in one dark twist of fate, she decided to fly further away...and flew straight into a spider web. The spider was on her in half a second, and that was it. Although this is completely natural, I know, I think I am traumatised by the experience. It was all so sudden! So, here is the last photo of the poor ladybug. At least she will be remembered.
