I was a witness to first degree murder! I stood, and photographed, the whole thing. A killer wasp and this cicada were hanging on a leaf of the tree in my back yard. It looked as if the wasp was digging into the throat of the cicada, and then it dropped to the ground. RIP, Mr. Cicada!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Fabulous capture!..I believe the wasp lays their eggs inside the victim for the young'uns to feed on as they hatch!...gruesome eh!...but, that's nature!

What a shot! The wasp looks like something out of a horror movie. Well done Jimbob.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
As mentioned, very unique, Jimbob.

Is there a warrant out for Mr. Bee? You may have to present your evidence in court, Jimbob. I think that it is an open and shut case though. What an amazing shot. I had to stare at this two legged monster for a few moments to get my perspective on who was holding who. lol

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.
It's clear to me: murder in the first degree, and you was a witness Jimbob, lol.
Rare but excellent capture, my friend. Think Owd Bob is right with his comment.
Regards, Cornelius.

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
Jimbob - I'm sure the police have investigated and have an APB out on the now famous Toledo Killer Bee. Excellent macro work, my friend. Thad

I can smell the sunlight on your skin. Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make!
I opened it up large but have to admit I closed it quickly - I'll admit to being bug phobic - what I saw was excellent - hope I can sleep tonight. LOL

This is an awesome shot, Jim. Too bad about the loss of life but nature must do it's thing. Excellent detail on the face of this guy - I can see all the little whiskers on it plus it's feelers. Great job -

So many pics and so little time can mean just one thing - it must be - tee time
Great work by you, but super ugly critters. I'll be thinking about this a lot today, also I'll be trying to forget the sight at the same time.

The cicada must have been planning on moving into a predominantly W.A.S.P. neighbor hood JimboB. I doubt you will get any of the neighbors to protest. Excellent photography.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
For a second I thought this was some kind of alien bee. Excellent macro of the wasp ... love the focus on the one eye. Magnificent camera work, Jim.

Mother Natures creatures can be harsh at times Jim. A really good macro. I hope you gave the police a good description of the culprit.

Hey, Jimbob...
I loved yesterday's shot. Are you sure he's dead and not in a self induced coma. I'd like to see a shot of this guy in a week.
Let us bow our heads for a moment of silence to remembrance for our close, personal friend Sid the cicada, whose life was cut short tragically by this senseless act of aggression. Sid was a quiet sort and kept to himself although he did have a propensity to converse with his fellow cicadas rather loudly late at night. As you can see he was a handsome fellow and had the same facial characteristics of his parents and siblings. May he rest in peace.
Great macro, Jimbob, although I personally would have perfered a wider DoF. His eyes look just like my brother's.
