Sad, but the colours are still there, i'm presuming it's dead?

Hi Maria, no it was alive and well but sadly I could do nothing to free it as it was trapped between two panes of glass.

It's amazing how they get into these places, must be instinct to find somewhere safe to bed down

Story is bleak but colors and execution is primo. I'd like to think I'd break the glass and administer Bug-CPR. but I wouldn't. Fine image - t
