Some terrific nature photography today on this Yahoo, BBC News link. Newer cameras like my Sony a6700 have such outstanding, fast autofocus for moving elements within camera frames, that capturing such amazing images is now possible. Notice how the wasp uses its jaws to grab the head end of the caterpillar and its 4 of 6 back legs to hold the mid body. The front legs seem to just be grabbing some skin. What a juicy lunch for its kids haha.

Do like how that species is an uncommon aesthetic red color. The aperture was obviously near wide open to fully blur the background with a fast shutter speed and likely a mid value ISO.
