An alien on my finger - a photo on Flickriver

            I was out yesterday looking for dragonflies (again), but didn't find any. As I was getting ready to go back home, I spotted this tiny damselfly, and followed it. It actually got trapped in a spider's web (see the -very bad- photo below)... I freed it, and it climbed on my finger :o)
I got the white background by lifting my finger against the (very cloudy) sky, and firing with the built-in flash.
