User's notes
The images show one of the wasps that were sighted feeding on the remains of what appeared to be a Wallaby. The wasps were on the outside as well as entering the remains. Not certain what has occurred here. There were no other remains of the Wallaby in the immediate area so a significant part of the Wallaby has been removed leaving just part of a leg, the tail and part of the backbone.
