Hanging by a thread

Found him/her hanging around my yard...

Caught in a web, but seemed to be only connected to the main web by a thread. There were no signs of a spider, but the insect was all ready dead by the time I found him.

The spider is probably hanging it up to "cure" a little, like aging a ham. What a way to go....."food on a string"

I see that a lot around here. I figure the insect was probably in a much larger part of the web at one time and that this is just the result of weathering. Like that two tone background.
