Hunting for a 'Cockroach'

Once I was waiting outside the train station for my train, I saw this odd couple that looked most photographic to me. On observing their actions closely, I realized that this was a hunter and its prey together.



The wasp had stung the cockroach before and the cockroach was already unconcious.
The wasp was taking its prey to its nest.



Sometimes, the cockroach made futile attempts to escape its fate, but to no result. The wasp, being disturbed by an amateur photographer, viz. me, left the prey for some time, but its venom had already taken effect, and the cockroach could hardly move even when let alone.




The wasp would come back to its prey and drag it further close to its nest, which was nothing more than a crack between two bricks in a wall there.



The last photograph shows the fate of the unfortunate cockroach. But then, that's the law. Someone's death is an opportunity (food in this case) for the other.

After the story ended, Bhalchandra and Chaitanya appeared on the scene and we went for Pramod's wedding to Nagpur. I guess that was the story of the series of this photographs.
