Wasp feeding on a fly

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
