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.

Hiya Bill,

Great shot/captures, looks to me like that Wasp has caught a ' Potato Leafhopper ' Empoasca fabae, judging by the leg & wing I can see ? the Wasps round here love them to eat.

Cheers for now
Mark
