I recently happened upon this blue mud dauber trying to pick up a cricket. The wasp finally succeeded but flew away quickly and I didn’t get a clear shot. My first time seeing this type of wasp. Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, Huntingnton Beach, CA. Using Nikon D500 w/ 80-400 lens.

Nice set. It's fun to watch nature at work and be able to document it.

Great set! The cricket is almost as big as the wasp, and the wasp was able to fly away with it? Wow.
