wasp eating a fly

well not really a good pic of it. but it did surprise me . was focusing on the fly when out of nowhere this wasp pick up my little fly and then proceed to eat it. couldn't really get on the ground level since it just stop raining. didn't want to get my gear wet. i never knew wasp are that mean.

Great capture bill..I was watching a hornet do a similar thing, it was taking anything it could catch both off flowers and in flight.
