User's notes
The wasp was initially sighted flying slowly close to the ground adjacent to where I was standing before landing in an adjacent shrub. It was carrying a leafhopper prey. The wasp changed shrubs several times before returning to the original location and dragging its prey into a nest in the ground, seen in the final image to the left of the wasp.
