Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Wasp feeding on a fly

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - After paralysing the fly with the sting, a sand wasp (Bembix oculata) is sucking its internal fluids using a beak-like extension of the mouth-parts. The fly won't survive the experience.
Reason
Difficult and uncommon shot. The relative rarity mitigates the less-than-optimal quality
