Wasp Flying with Prey (dead flying insect)
Wasp Flying with Prey. Looks like a dead fly or something. Never knew wasps ate other insects. You can even watch the wasp carry, in flight, the dead insect right down into his nest, under the ground:

Wasps stun flies and put them in the cells with the eggs. The larvae eat the flies.

Cicada Killers do the same with cicadas.

Ichneumann wasps lay the eggs in the living host.

Wasps kill insect pests and also can pollinate flowers.

Thanks. Never really knew that. Very interesting. Was neat how the wasp arranged the fly just right so that he could zip right into his narrow holed nest.

Found this interesting -

Here is a still of the wasp positioning the dead horse fly so that he can fly with him, down into his nest.
