Lakenheath Spiders and Damsels

 Very few bird sightings at Lakenheath but lots of insect activity. As I had the 300mm with me, I used that with an extension ring. There were Common Darters and Ruddy Darters (mating pair); the latter has all black legs and a waisted abdomen. A number of damselflies and flies had got caught in spiders' webs. I like  the last shot as it show the silk being spun out of the spinnerets around the prey.
