This was on the terrace of a house which has many potted plants,. some of these plants are inhabited by many species of ants and the flowers are visited by wasps. This dead wasp is food for two species of ants.
I have seen one dragonfly being shared by a spider which had hunted it and an opportunistic ant; but two different species of ants on the same dead wasp? is this usual? I'd have thought the larger ant with its painful bite would have chased the smaller ants away.
