Field Notes

Description:

This common and widespread wasp collects insects including caterpillars to feed to its larvae, and is therefore generally beneficial. The adults feed on nectar and sweet fruit, and are also attracted to human food and food waste, particularly sodas and meats.

Notes:

This one was stealing MY meatball-snack. first picture he was proving, what he has found. second pic he had found something "to take" for his size and was going without- paying the catch !!!
