This is not as it may appear to be at first glance. The Common Blue Damselfly male has not captured the spider. The spider Steatoda nobilis has caught the Damselfly in its web.

Olympus EM-1, Olympus 4/3 x2 TC, Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro, 1/40 at f9, daylight, hand-held.

Thanks

It is not unusual where they are flying around vegetation such as nettles. There is a lot of flying activity by numerous damsels and hundreds of spiders. It's the "numbers game".

Good captures Harold.- Spiders seem to get quite a proportion of damselflies. Mind you damselflies do gave a habit of trying to pinch food from spider's webs.

Yes, I tried to photograph one raiding a web but it was too quick for me.

Thanks, Karl.

There are also many things too small to see the detail with the naked eye which appear in images here.
