Sweet dreams are made of this.... - a photo on Flickriver

Sweet dreams are made of this....

            ..... took me ages to work out what was going on here. Initially, I thought the wasp was eating another insect, but after much examination, and looking at adjacent frames, I would say the wasp is cleaning both its front legs in its mouth at the same time. Those orange dangly bits are its front feet.
