Spider VS Wasp - epic bug battle refereed by Ellen

[@Ivan_Ardon]

I live in Taiwan and saw something similar. There was a huge huntsman (similar to the Australian one) on my driveway, which had been stung by a wasp/hornet that specifically attacks arachnids. There was an ant's nest near by (2-3 feet away) and a few of them came out to see what was going on. I could see the thought process of "Now lads, if we play this right, we might get both of them...just be cool!" They were right! both the wasp and spider took some damage, slowed down and the ants just swarmed them both. Really quite impressive!

[@hundwyn7530]

That’s super cool.

[@nirohal9437]

Yea I wish I was there to see the battle lol

[@zopfee]

The wasp : I hate you spider The spider : I hate you more The ants : I’m gonna do what is called a pro gamer move

Next time that happens, make sure you have some mobile camera capturing the action! That would be most impressive to see on KZbin, a spider vs. wasp fight usurped by an ant swarm! :D

[@killakangz5317]

[@lv_1003]

People who are still unclear about the wasp, I am pretty sure that is a Tarantula Hawk and yes they are specificly prey tarantulas.

[@BugFightsdahdeath]

Stevan Petkovic Then what is it cuz it look s exactly like a tarantula hawk??

[@lv_1003]

I do not understand your question? It is lined up as if I said it was not an Tarantula Hawk.

[@BugFightsdahdeath]

Stevan Petkovic it moves acts and looks like one

[@BugFightsdahdeath]

Stevan Petkovic also if they only prey on SPECIFICALLY tarantulas why is this one preying on a spider?cuz I compared it to another vid with tarantula hawk and it has the sam coloration and everything

[@danieljung785]

Actually I don’t think the wasp kills the spider. Just paralzes it to drag back to it’s cave where it’s newly hatched young will feed off it’s body slowly and painfully.

[@derricklogan2058]

The Wasp paralyzes the Spider, right? The larva eats the 🕷️ until it's gone, right? In other words, the Spider dies so that the Wasp lives, right? It's the cycle of life, right? Something must die for the other to live. Death is simple.

[@dariusgreysun]

When I was a child, I read a fantasy story about a boy who heard a tiny voice pleading for help. The voice promised to grant him one wish as a reward. When he looked closer, he saw a wasp caught in a spider’s web, struggling next to the spider. The boy quickly killed the spider to save the wasp. But in the end, he discovered that the voice begging for help had actually belonged to the spider.

[@AndreRedelinghuys]

Whoa.. deep 😳

[@truthseekerKJV]

If you notice on these match ups, the spider ALWAYS sits on it's ass and lets the wasp or tarantula hawk make the first move. This always results in the spider losing. I would love to see this kind of match up with a Sydney Funnelweb, because now you have an aggressive, mean as hell spider that will strike first and not be docile.

[@Kalagenesis]

Been looking for that one for years

[@lamarjackson5653]

I notice on every video the spider just try to get away like it knows it can't win

[@NMW80]

IKR they don't even fight and try and kill the wasp,like what the ?I thought spiders would fight to death.

[@CanariasCanariass]

Spiders can kill almost all insects but these tarantula hawks are their natural predators.. Trying to run away probably yields them a higher % of surviving than fighting

[@Marcus-gw4bb]

Tarantula hawks paralyses its prey and drag it into nesting hole and lay its egg inside the spider. Its larvae will eat the spider from the inside out all while the spider is alive.

[@sheFEISTY.43110]

Yeah but not against a spider wasp that specifically hunt spiders. The only spider that can kill this wasp is probably a black widow perhaps. Venoms that are stronger than the wasp.

[@ungratefulingrate1268]

@@sheFEISTY.43110 specific wasps prey on specific spiders. I think it's safe to assume no wasp hunts for cellar spiders, like holocnemus pluchei, because they are just too small. Also, jumping spiders are quite smart and can see very well, they are difficult preys.

[@1JLegend]

what’s crazy is spiders seem to move so much faster when they’re dealing with humans than when they’re dealing with other animals.

[@kingkrab5138]

If you had two poison laced knives that you’ve been training with since birth, wouldn’t you be cool and calculated against a wolf that doesn’t fear you, while trying to be as unpredictable and shocking as you could to a giant that you know fears you?

[@Caitydubbelyew]

For those wondering about the ID of the wasp and the spider, I’m pretty sure this is Southern Africa, considering the accents, the surname ‘Redelinghuys’, and the use of Afrikaans. We have a family of spider hunting wasps, Pompilidae, of which this would be a typical example. Most likely of the Tachypompilus genus, considering wing and leg colouring and the ID of the spider. The spider looks to be a rain/huntsman spider (Palystes), having long hairy legs with banding on the underside, a fat body and a particular way of moving. They’re commonly called rain spiders for their behaviour of sheltering inside when storms come and are venomous, though their venom is no more dangerous than a bee sting would be to the average human.

[@20PINKluvr]

All spiders are venomous-some more medically significant than others

[@squiremuldoon5462]

Amazing how the tarantula doesnt just pounce on it like any other insect, it just knows who he is dealing with.

[@kathrynshockey5537]

its not a tarantula its a huntsman spider

[@daconking2852]

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

[@gwenb.4179]

We fear Spiders because of their menacing looks but this video proves that they can also fall a victim to smaller bullying insects like the Wasp.

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.

Nah, the wasp is laser-focused on the spider. Spider wasp stings hurt like hell (thought they're pretty harmless), but they usually don't care about people, they only sting if you grab them or something. The ones that can go after you are the ones that defend colonies, like Yellowjackets and honeybees, while this one is solitary so it only defends itself if it needs to.

[@farmanshaikh6405]

Against a tarantula hawk (wasp), it's very unlikely the spider will ever win. The wasp's venom has a paralyzing effect on the spider when delivered in sufficient amounts, which allows the wasp to lay it's eggs on the spider. These types of wasp's specifically seek out spiders.

I've spent most of the last 44 years around them and haven't been bitten yet! A record, I intend to maintain, if at all possible!!! I've read that an envenomated Black Widow bite, causes Constant, Severe, Bodywide Pain, for DAYS at a time, with "ONLY their "Rare & Expensive Antivenin" to decrease it! Few people around me even know of their presence, as they're not as obvious as the Rattlesnakes and European Giant Hornets!
