Southern Bee Killer and prey - Mallophora orcina

Southern Bee Killer and prey - Mallophora orcina
Gainesville, Alachua County, Florida, USA
July 6, 2005
Size: About 2 cm
Absolutely living up to its name - I believe the prey is a bumble bee, although I didn't manage to get a clear shot of it.

Memorable
What a memorable photo! They say "likes" attract...
