Spider-hunting Wasps (Pompilidae) dragging spiders to their nests

[@markwilliams6378]

Thank God wasps are this small. If they were bigger we'd have to worry about being the incubator of their larva ourselves

Lol, that is so true. We'd be ducking and diving and dodging them if they were the size of birds.

Very nice wasp! Thank you for video!

Gross but interesting 😅

I always feel sorry for the spiders but it is nature and that has been going on for millions of years.

Aqui no Brasil nós temos essa vespa, e também a vespa da Malásia da Malásia, as duas agem da mesma forma, ferroam a vítima, depois as levam para um buraco, lá elas botam um único ovo dentro da vítima que sai uma larva que consome a vítima aínda viva.

Yes, that is what this one also does. The larvae eat the paralyzed spider from inside.

These wasps can be quite aggressive. A few months ago I was watering my flowers and one stung me on the back of the leg. I must have been too close to its nest.
