A potter wasp on action

A potter wasp (Phimenes flavopictus) is on a flight with a clasped caterpillar and about to enter its' nest (a pot) which is made of mud. It is continuously loading the nest until fully loaded with insects like caterpillars & beetle larvae, because this collection of insects is going to be food for its next generation.
