Field Notes

Description:

A small struggle for life and death found on my doorstep. Small black wasp with dark amber wings. Subdued prey is most likely a female Bold Jumper (Phidippus audax). I was on ly able to get the two shots (cropped one for a closer view) before the wasp took off with her prize! Possibly Genus Arachnospila.

Habitat:

Suburban yard.
