"I don't think this spider's gonna play much longer"

I've actually purposefully put out feeders for the wasps and mud daubers this Summer. Because of this!

A documentary was described the difficulty a spider has in landing a winning blow on the wasp. "It's like a human holding a glass bottle in one hand, then trying to drill through it using the other hand". (paraphrasing) So even if the spider manages to get the wasp in its fangs, the wasp still has a brilliant chance of escaping death.

Too heavy😂

Despite having gotten stung, from 2:34 till the end, bro bit the wasp: Lesson learnt: (Never get to close to your victim's mouth, cause once their stung by U & bite your head & inject venom, your stuck for life)

The spider could bite it as it goes straight but it hasn't figured out yet. 😅😅

So many times I have seen the spider lose and finally it won.😮😅😅

😠😠😠😠😡😡😠😠😡😠🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬NOooooooooooooooo

For those who don't know that's a tarantula hawk its the only wasp that attacks tarantulas so the wasp stings the spider and the spider is paralyzed

The spider is helpful, put every one of those wasps under a boot!

Just effing bite the wasp!

That’s not a wild spider

I'm glad something thins them out...

wasp love big belly

finnaly i got it how thz battle goes thx mate i am going on the garden to see it

Remember yall if you get stung by a tarantula hawk lie down and scream

A lovely south African breakfast

Isn't that a tarantula hawk

I didn't fill sorry, wasp wins again, 😁😁😁 sorry is a single ant

The hunter becomes the hunted, being a predator doesn't make you immune to predation by other predators.

The Wasp has to be ever so careful not to actually kill the spider, for if the spider dies it becomes useless to the spider. That takes discipline on the Wasps side, and is probably why wasp stings the spider multiple times, cause using such low doses of venom.

I have seen these wasps whilst visiting South Africa. They are large compared to the European wasp and a big slow moving spider like this would have little chance. These wasps are like the attack helicopters of the insect world. Still, a good blart over its noggin with a rolled up newspaper would sort the wee bastard out.

This looks like the Raptor enclosure.

glossy🤕

Not epic the parasee wasp will win everytime

Spider wasp vs spider

Spider wasp vs spidee

Spider shud go for the chimney not the land

i have studied this encounter with a number of species many many times and i cannot understand how the spider is so unsuccessful at biting it's opponent, it will appear to have success but then the wasp walks away

What kind of spider is that ? its abdomen is huge , maybe its pregnant ?

The wasp legs lol

Bliksem! lol

Ese lente estaba como miope

Wasps are the worst

This is no ordinary spider, this is a Brazilian Wandering Spider. Awesome work by the wasp.

Wow, that's a big spider

Awful filming skills...

Tarantula: Look how they massacred my boy.

Move. Move immediately.

The wasp is trying to sting the spider

This wasp want the spider body for insert into his baby s wasps

i dont really like spiders but wasps r the worst

looks like a tarantula hawk. they sting the spider to paralyze it then take it to a burrow and lay eggs on the spider so the young can eat the spider when they hatch

Its impossible for the spider's fang to land a decisive penetrating hit against the tight smooth armored body of the wasp 😱

Poor spidey...😥😖 They become the living host for the wasp's larvae.. They later emerge, like the alien in the movies of the same name. Horrifying.

Linkin park song??? :(

My a•• wouldn't be beside them at all

Horrible

Тут осе повезло, что паук был без паутины. Если бы оса попалась в паутину, ситуация была бы наоборот
