Capturing grass spider.
I think the wasp captured a live grass spider. I was shooting the spider with a camera on a tripod, then left to grab a chair and coffee to wait and see if the spider moved to a a better angle. It was gone when I returned (only a minute or two, it was right ouside my door).
A few minutes later I saw the wasp trying to haul the spider out of a strip of molding that made a trough about a half inch deep and a half inch wide. After many tries it climed the molding side instead of the wall and pulled the spider away.
