These Yellow Jackets (Sandhill's Hornets) were tearing apart this lonely raspberry in what was left of the afternoon sun. They've got pieces of berry and the berry juice all over them. If you look closely, it almost looks as though they are bleeding.

    Who said dinosaurs where dead?
    That looks like a prehistoric pack feeding. Very cool!
