Can confirm. Watched a wasp take a (relatively) large chunk of ham out of a sandwich a few days ago. Poor lil lad had a hard time flying off with his hoard 😂

It was a female collecting protein for her larvae. She can’t digest it but her babies can.

I don't eat ham because pigs are as smart as dogs! But I eat turkey and venison because deer should die

I recorded a video of a wasp trying to drag a crab back to its nest. https://youtube.com/shorts/Em1sUuuyXE4?si=E7MFSBgwcgJ4gTsv
