dewdrop
Grass blade bead
A dewdrop is a single drop of dew—the moisture that condenses on surfaces overnight and glistens in early morning light.
The word evokes smallness and delicacy: Dewdrops clung to the spider's web.
Figuratively, something as fragile or fleeting as a dewdrop won't last long once the sun rises.
