A beneficial wasp with a Japanese beetle larva - it will lay eggs on the larva and the eggs will use the larva for food. And one less beetle!

    Never seen anything like that before. Was he flying with the larva and just happen to land there or what?

      It was flying erratically and Harley the dog wanted to chomp it, so that's when I noticed it. It landed on his outdoor "lounge" and I got the shot at 300mm, not sure what was going until I looked closer!

    Cool shot. I'm glad to see one more beetle put to good use.

      I never know what I'll find out on the patio, so I always try to have my camera handy.
