Not sure what this wasp is doing with the fly...looks like he's caught some food maybe?

I think these types of Wasps take the live prey to there nests for the larvae to feed on - if its what i think it is - a Digger Wasp - or a Square Headed Wasp :) ...

Neat capture. Looks like it would be hard to take to its nest. Almost the same size.

thanks all, I was heading indoors from the back yard and saw these two next to my door.

I'd rather be lucky than good! :-)
