Decimated Leaves

Found these decimated leaves on a recent walk.

This one looked like a fine net that had been spread over the grass to catch some unwary prey.


My guess is that these leaves were eaten up by Japanese beetles, although I know there could be other culprits out there.

No matter who did it, we are left with nature's negative, showing the fine scaffolding upon which the leaf was built.
