Predacious Diving Beetle And Wasp

Post by AlP »

While camping I was photographing this Predacious beetle when all of a sudden a wasp landed on it and tried to chew through the beetle's armour. Four frames in less than two seconds and the wasp was gone. This image was the best of the four.

I'm impressed you could get anything at all! I would have been more like "What just happened?"
