I know that nature must take its course but I also think that I am right there for something. I would free the wasp. Very good macro Keith.

Thanks for all your kind comments.

For those of you who mentioned it, there was no question of me freeing the wasp............it was definitely dead! I think I probably disturbed the spider whilst it was "wrapping it up"!

Facinating to watch them gingerly attack then wrap their reward in web for later.

That must have been a brave spider to risk a wasp sting! He must have been very nimble too.
