Spider Wasp Hunts Down A Wolf Spider And Drags It To Its Death!

Shot in my backyard, here in Texas, with the Galaxy S5 in 2015.

I cut out the audio because at the time my family and I were building a chicken coop. So it was basically hammering and drilling sounds the whole time.

Spider wasps are solitary wasps that use a single spider as a host for feeding their larvae. They paralyze the spider with a venomous stinger, drag it back to their den and lay a single egg inside of the spider. The larvae slowly eat the spider from the inside out.

This was an awesome encounter to capture and I'm happy to see lots of people enjoying my decent phone recording. Some ask why I didn't help the spider. I love both wasps and spiders. I find them fascinating but, sometimes you have to let nature do its thing... Its very brutal thing.
