Photos not taken where it was found, but the location indicated IS where it was found
Found on the pavement while on a walk: its appendages were tangled in cobweb so I picked it up and gently brushed/pulled the web away.
It sat on my hand the rest of the walk, only flexing(?) Its wings very slightly until we reached a sink where it smelled the water and became active, (attempting to walk towards it).
I gave it some water on my finger, then we poured some into a fresh banana skin for it to drink (and maybe get some nutrition from the banana - fanciful thinking, but that’s what we had available) and left it in a garden.
Still where I left it the next day, unmoving, so it likely died overnight.
