Predator meets prey. A follow up to sighting 4429253. A tiny parasitic wasp was working its way around a mantis egg sack whilst probing into it, when the occupants started to emerge from the top of the egg sac. This led to a stand-off as seen in the first image, with the wasp eventually flying off.
