Queen Anne's Lace, Flower, Wildflower

A close-up shot showcases the early stages of Queen Anne’s Lace, bathed in warm sunlight. Early morning dew clings to the delicate stems of the plant and a lone strand of spider web. The early light and tiny dewdrops highlight its structure and adding some sparkle.

My camera and I spent a warm summer morning roaming the woods of northwest Missouri.

I found small clearing with some wildflowers, including a number of beautiful Queen Ann’s Lace. On one bunch of Queen Ann’s Lace I spotted a black wasp with distinctive white stripes. It was easy to see the bed of white.

Upon closer inspection, it was obvious the wasp had died there  Then I noticed a smaller, ugly bug gnawing on it’s leg.  It took some searching and help from a friend to identify it as an Ambush Bug.

I watched it for awhile and saw the ambush bug try to carry the wasp off, but seemed unable. I think the wasps legs were stuck in the flower bed.

I made it a point to check back the next day and couldn’t find any sign of either parties.
