European Wasp loses out (for once).

I noticed a European Wasp moving slowly through the grass and leaf litter, near Lake Alexandra, Mittagong.

I got a bit excited watching this even play out in front of me. I have witnessed Spider Wasps dragging Huntsman Spiders away to the lair, where a nasty fate awaits them. So, I figured there is some kind of justice being played out here.

Look closely.
There is a European Wasp in the grass.

These Ants have long antennae, and they often walk with their "Gaster" (their last body segment) held high in the air.
