Whoa! I'm baffled by that yellow drop of liquid, too.
Crazy detail and fascinating! What's up with the bubble? Is it liquefied yellow jacket?

Fascinating photos!!
Excellent photos. My brother used to catch ants to toss into spider webs so we could watch the eating process. We had the fattest wolf spiders outside our back door.
Beautiful spider, but poor yellow jacket. Wonderful photos!
