The Bee-Eater and the Wasp



They're called Bee-Eaters, and they would definitely eat the occasional bee, but they're actually not picky and would pluck any insect of the right size from the sky. Like this Wasp, for example. In this photo we see the Bee-Eater throwing the Wasp into the air to catch it in a more favorable position. They keep doing that, then break the sting expertly on a branch, and then swallow it whole. Amazing...
