My queen was really hungry today and took down and fed to her larva a whole moth, normally they only take certain parts and discard the rest, well without further ado here are the pics in chronological order from most recent to finish.

Just a note the moth was larger and thicker than she was, I have never seen wasps tackle prey like this.
