Red Admiral's "MayDay"
A Red Admiral Butterfly (Vanessa atalanta) was flirting about my dog-fish pond, when its wing clipped a spider web, causing it to splash down into the pond water. A quick photo was taken and I observed that the surface pressure was to great for it to drag its self on to a violet leaf and out of the water.
