Wasps v Ants

[Will H]

Noticed a lot of wasp flying in to pick off flying ants out of a colony that had gathered. Grabbed the camera, turns out it's not the easiest subject to capture, but I got a few I'm reasonably happy with

Any C&C appreciated

What an interesting set of shots definitely something a bit different that you don't often see

Nice shots mate

I remember whacking a wasp into a poolside drain on holiday years ago, it was briefly stunned & along came the ants. Off with it's wings stand back for a few mins.........then chomp chomp chomp. I even felt sorry for it

Well only for a few seconds
