I think I read somewhere it's illegal to kill them, probably because they go after the insects that harm crops. <br />I did rescue a dragonfly from a spider web a year ago, he had just flown into it, and I managed to get him out before he got totally snarled, but his wings were completely tangled up with the web...and he sat there very very still, letting me take the spider silk off his wings, cleaning them down, and when I was sure he could fly I opened my hand and off he went. =)mittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04878611591683283429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-61656248826810687772020-09-04T16:41:38.767-07:002020-09-04T16:41:38.767-07:00Mamie is hilarious!Mamie is hilarious!Linda Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070050388987072100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1970111941968077431.post-5677249335159224642020-09-04T06:15:41.503-07:002020-09-04T06:15:41.503-07:00Wow, it caught a mantis!

Himself told me to push it out the window, but I waited until we got to our destination and put it in a bush.<br />And, as a postscript, it outsmarted me. I 'thought' I had put it in a bush. After we got home I felt something and removed said spider from my hair. And DID put it in a bush at home.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.com
