21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Ichneuman Wasp + Prey Grasshopper
I was photographing Wildlife at Placerita Canyon, and unbelievably I came upon this Ichneuman Wasp that was clutching a Grasshopper in its claws, as he kept attempting to fly away with his prey.. Though his prey was so heavy that he was having such a difficult time flying away with it, where he could feed on it..
