Not the best photo, but I found this poor sod trapped on one of the orb spiders' web strands.
I rescued it and you can see it has had a hard time - looks like it has a broken leg, though maybe they can bend them like that, I don't know. Must have just been collecting pollen before getting trapped as you can see plenty of it. I eased it from the web, and it stood as best it could on my finger tip, but flew away after the third photo - the other two were out of focus completely, as I was sticking my hand in front of the camera and hand held it was difficult to position accurately...
