Horror in Cuckfield as a wasp eats a moth whilst it is still alive.

A moth emerged from a flower bed in my garden pursued by a wasp.

The moth was crawling along with the wasp attacking it.

A series of photo's were taken that showed the wasp eating the abdomen of the live moth.

It ate almost the whole abdomen before flying off, presumably with a very full gut.

What an extraordinary sight.
Is this too gory to use in my "Natural Year in Focus" talk, do you think?  Click here to see that talk page
