These photos were taken in my garage. I saw two yellow jackets ripping bits off a dead moth and carrying him away piece by piece. Once the skin was gone from the abdomen I saw this moth was full of eggs.. must have been a very nutritious meal!

The 7th pic down is a great shot. You've got the full view of the moth's wings, the wasps in opposite direction & a clear shot of the meal of moth caviar.

Ummm wow. Those pictures are amazing.

Though I must admit that while part of me is intrigued there's another part of me that is just plain grossed out.
