Captured this Mayfly snared in a spiderweb early one morning in my backyard in Virginia.

Some mornings I go out just before sunup to see what I can find in nature. Many times its my own backyard like this photograph. I found a Mayfly snared bu a spiderweb. Using some fill flash I was able to highlight the insect keeping the background dark.
