food chainWasp Attack
Here are two wasps that do not appear to be of the same species. The guy underneath is slowly spitting out drops of clear liquid. The guy on top is attached to the lower one’s rear end.

Hi Bart,
Your subject heading would more correctly read Wasp Attacked. The attacker is a Robber Fly. These swift predators swoop down on unsuspecting wasps, bees and flies. Flies do not chew food, but inject a fluid that predigests the internal organs which are then sucked out, leaving an empty shell behind.
