Haha this fly just flew into a spiders web in the corner of my window, it's buzzing like crazy as it tries to escape - but to no avail.

The spider keeps hitting it or something with its legs. It's pretty fun to watch haha. don't normally get to see stuff like this.

So what would be the morally right thing to do? :P Free the fly or let it die.

Depends on the fly. Flies with mouthparts live a long time, and some flies without mouthparts still live up to three days.

There's still the whole reproducing business....

As a buddhist I say "SAAAAAAAAAAAVE THE FLY", except the spider might starve. Hmm.

Considering that the spider already has the fly, and that if you killed the spider it would still be caught, or if you tried to get the fly out of the web it would be injured, I would say that you should let the spider eat te fly.  No use in trying to help resulting in both dying.

Nah, I say the fly should die. It's natural.

The fly will reincarnate into something else with a higher probability to reach Nirvana. Or maybe that was Hinduism <_< >_>?

The reincarnation dealie is both, but nirvana is the buddhist thing. But that's only if the fly's been good in life.

Who knows?  You do not have a cat that would eat both do you?  If I had to guess anything it would either be kill both or let the spider eat on.

Considering that you are on the Internet, why do you not just go into Wikipedia and check instead of waiting for non-specialists to tell you?

Reincarnation is a concept that applies to many religions and theologies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reincarnation

Yeah, the reincarnation concept is identical in both. Historically speaking, both buddhism and hinduism have very similar origins, and therefore there are some things in them that are shared.

It was mostly to prevent me from sounding like an expert, not that I didn't know completely. Nevermind
