This wasp had already killed the cicada and was trying to take it ... somewhere ... to her nest? ... to a private place to eat? ... anyway, she was struggling since the cicada was much bigger than she was. Guppyman was taking pictures [you don't think I was going to get that close to a wasp, do you?] and eventually the flash annoyed her so much that she dropped the cicada and flew off.

We have had the beehive collapse syndrome here in Houston, and it seems like the absence of the bees has allowed the wasps to thrive. This is NOT a good thing.
