Wasp eating a bush cricket

Lord Vetinari

Did an experiment yesterday after finding a dead bush cricket on the car boot. I placed it on the same flowerhead I had put the hoverfly on that got attacked the day before.
Within a minute a wasp found it and started stripping it.

Nice capture! I've had picture sessions with bush crickets so I feel pain with this image haha

Thanks for the comments - yes I would have preferred shooting a live cricket (with no wasp).

A tribute... flowers and a relative for the funeral
