At the Rosemary, Part V: Other Bug Eats—Bee?


So here was this other bug on the day of all the activity at the rosemary out back. I couldn't identify its prey until I saw the photos, and I believe that my suspicions that the prey is a bee are correct.

But did the predator kill the bee, or is he dining on an already-dead bee? It looks fairly dessicated, but who knows at what point of the process I appeared with my camera? Is the Other Bug an innocent carillon eater, or did it, in fact, kill the bee itself?
