Wow, interesting combatants .... the wasp looks a bit miffed finding the bee there and the bee looks a bit wimpy waving a skinny leg at him.

In this shot the wasp is lunging at the bee. The bee here is off balance from the unexpected attack.

Well, actually, there's nothing strange about it - wasps are agressive and attack bees (not just bees) both single-handed (so to speak) and in a bevy, when they can kill an entire beehive to take the larvas and feed them to their own grubs. This is one awesome capture, though. You can see how mean the wasp is - it's in the bodylanguage. Big bravo on the shot!
