Field Notes

Description:

A beautiful Monarch flew into a web. The spider going after it. I got it out of the web with difficulty and tried to get some of the webbing off its wings. It recovered enough to fly but the webbing was trouble and got caught in another spider's web as you can easily count over 100 spiders quickly.

Habitat:

Meadow in the Poconos
