Wasp with Spider Prey
Found at La Selva Biological Station, near Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí. Heredia Province, Costa Rica.
I think the wasp is Pompilidae (possibly Poecilopompilus?) and the spider is a Verrucosa. ID help appreciated.
Found at the Arboleda (Holdridge Arboretum). Managed to get a few shots in frame as the wasp tried to carry the spider off.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
