Never give up

Awhile ago, I was in the back yard, getting some fresh air and looking to see what might be going on around the fragrant mistflower. Somewhere nearby, I could hear something like wings beating against the ground. I walked around and found a southern yellowjacket (Vespula squamosa) wrestling with a big moth. I pulled out my little camera from my pocket and tried to get some shots. Even with the flash on, the images were blurred, but you can make out the two bodies....


Then I decided to take some video.....

 Just a few seconds after I ended this video....

THE MOTH BROKE FREE! 
I was stunned.
 So, if you, too, right now are struggling with your own yellowjacket.....
NEVER GIVE UP!
