The Curious Case of the Meat-Eating Wasps (Ye, I am sure they were wasps not zombies)

 It is not the greatest footage but I had several people who would not believe me when I told them that I had meat-eating wasps.

I first noticed how food left by hedgehogs in a dish was gradually vanishing during the day. I observed flies on the left-overs and then I saw a wasp kill a fly on the food. What I saw next I had not witnessed before.  The wasp took a piece of the left-over cat food that was almost the equal of its own size and flew off (badly) with the morsel.

I saw other wasps cut away pieces of chicken slices and fly off with said morsels. Some 2-3 (I assume there might have been others but as none carried identification numbers I have no idea) wasp finished off quite a bit of meat and at times I had to chase them off (or tried to as they were rather big bullies) for a cat to get the food.

Of course, the wasps needed the meat as it wa a good source of protein that they would need. Hopefully, if we get a good summer in 2021 I can get better footage.
