An Australian Emerald dragonfly, caught in a spider web, tries in vain to get free and will soon meet its end from exhaustion or spider bite.
The dark frons, dark leading-edge to the wings, dark pterostigma and constricted black marking on tergum 7 help distinguish this Australian Emerald from a Tau Emerald.
