Yeah, well my title was weird, but that's what I was aiming for. This was titled "Cradle of Life" until about an hour before rollover, when I thought - what sop! I need something a bit more 'out there' for this challenge.
For the first day or so the negative comments stung a bit, but after that I started to relish them :) And I guess being too weird for Posthumous has got to count for something, right?
For those interested, this is a tomato grub - I assume that this is the caterpillar creating its cocoon stage, because the webbing got thicker over time as I observed it, but it doesn't seem right when I looked up the life cycle of this particular bug, so I'm a bit stumped.
This was photographed in the light rain, hence the drops.

What an interesting find. I love how the larva (?) is surrounded by a web covered in dew. This shot makes me want to know more about the scene that you captured.
Nicely done and I like the effective use of DOF. I can't quite see this as a piece of artwork on my wall, however. Of course, that is very much a personal preference thing.
