Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Scarce swallowtail, Scabius flower and Polistine wasp. "I was taking pictures of scarce swallowtails on Scabius flowers when I heard a Polistine wasp buzzing around - It was hovering behind the butterflies and then darting in and body-checking them. Although I didn't witness predation I later saw a wasp dismembering a skipper in the same area. I’m pretty sure this wasp was trying to predate the swallowtail. I like the picture because it was difficult to take - the wasp was moving very fast and the focal plane was very shallow - and because it captures three trophic levels in one."

{{Machaon rare, fleur Scabius et guêpe Poliste.

"Je prenais des photos de machaons sur des fleurs de Scabieuse quand j'ai entendu une guêpe Poliste bourdonner - Elle planait derrière les papillons, puis s'élançait et les vérifiait. Bien que je n'aie pas été témoin de prédation, j'ai vu plus tard une guêpe démembrer un skipper dans la même zone. Je suis presque sûr que cette guêpe essayait de précéder le machaon. J'aime la photo parce qu'elle était difficile à prendre - la guêpe se déplaçait très vite et le plan focal était très peu profond - et parce qu'elle capture trois niveaux trophiques en un.}}
