hornets
[edit] oops! just read up on them...
I might as well have said "bigger wasps"
I did witness this whilst lying under an apple tree. The hornet settled on fallen fruit, making no attempt to eat it... when the wasp came to eat, the hornet jumped on its back, folding it in half - then it took it away. It was happening all the time!
At the bottom of the wiki page there is a link to a vid of 30 hornets annihilating 30000 bees!

Yes. In the countries where wasps originate, a wide range of natural predators have been recorded including invertebrates (dragonflies, robber flies, hornets, centipedes, and spiders), birds (at least 24 species are known to eat wasps, including blackbirds, magpies, starlings) and mammals. In Britain, badgers are the chief predator: they destroy entire colonies to obtain the brood-filled comb. Stoats, weasels and mice also disrupt colonies in the early stages. However, in New Zealand, one reason wasps have so successfully established is that most of their natural predators are not present.

Humans do. It's considered a delicacy in one country.
