Hiya Samgoit,

Great shots, looks like that Cuckoo Wasp has just had a close shave coz if I'm not mistaken I spy a spiders abdomen & a couple of legs, no wonder it wants to get outa there !!

Cheers for now

Hi Sam

Great shots and I agree with Mark it does look like a spider just under the wasp in #1

Excellent shots, very cool looking wasps. Is the 3rd image a wasp as well?

She's a wasp, but that's the only view I got of her. I thought she might be dead till she moved, and I caught a glimpse of her large mandibles. Turns out she was sleeping.
