  • love the video really good

  • That was a great video of a beautiful insect, you are so lucky to have something that unique around your home. Well done for letting it go like that, unlike some frightened individuals who forget that they are actually at the top of the food chain.

  • this is my favorite animal :( since i was  8 yeas.

  • I love wasps they're so awesome.

  • THAT THING COME BY MY HOUSE I KILL IT. DAMN NATURE YOU SCARY

  • Whoever video taped this has balls of steel.

  • I like how he appriciates the rescue. When he buzzes off he reminds me of the ending of Anton Chigur from No Country For Old Men. " Take this but you never saw me " LOL!!

  • KILL IT

  • Wait, wait, wait... Cazadors are fucking REAL? Fuck this earth.

  • Second most painful sting of ANY INSECT. Betcha didn't know THAT when you were playing with it..

  • @Stillwater900 The rating is 1 man's opinion only. Pain varies according to is venom sac full & fully discharged into sting; sting site; tolerance of victim (stings by previous species do add some immunity). The Japanese hornet was NOT on his "list" also caterpillars are insects too! Puss caterpillar is highly rated for severity; lonomia; and wattle cup caterpillar they sting by spines not stingers, but are still stings; assassin bug has severe bite (toxins) he does NOT "know!"

  • CAZADOREEEEEEEEEEEEEE

  • It seems pretty docile.... or is that just because it nearly drowned?

  • @Lazaro5000 its docile for a wasp, only stinging if you piss it off but i reckon that one was docile because it indeed nearly drowned

  • @Lazaro5000

    that was probably a big part of it - yes

  • You feel a little woozy...

  • FUCKING CAZADORES!

  • thats why we kill first ask questions later, then search its body for meat... just like the bloatfly, that bitch has some tasty meat! yer so what if its got +5 rads. bloatfly is a tasty bitch!

  • These rascals have one of the most painful stings known -- I think they're in the top three or four, the bullet ant being #1. However, I've been around them for decades and never had a problem with them. Unlike many hornets and wasps these things are pretty even tempered and don't go out of their way to bother people. But probably not a good idea to catch them in one's hand....

  • @swizzletik 2nd in the lst. Only the bullet ant is worse.

    I'd run a fucking mile if i saw one of these. lol

  • As mean as they look they are almost never harmful to people - unless you look like a tarantula. They love apples and peaches on the trees and of course tarantulas. I've had them crawl on me and they have never bitten me. (Not recommended for average folks.)

  • Oh crap cazadores are real!

  • Why would you rescue him? That creature is pure evil...

  • @mangomariel know what you mean, i hate all wasps

  • @mangomariel to spiders not humans. I'm not a fan of wasps they scare me but this wasp unlike hornets and other wasps has nothing to prove it knows its a boss and doesn't trouble humans unless really pissed. I watch a TV program called Deadly 60 and the presenter caught one it a net and held it by its wings while talking about it it was upside down trying to sting him but once he let it go instead of turning on him like a wasp or hornet it just flew off back to its buisness.

  • They're definitely out now....i'm in Las Cruces NM and omfg, one was on the screen.

  • Why rescue it! KILL IT! KILL IT! BURN IT WITH FIRE!

  • I had one of these in my house tonight, the death battle was epic. 

  • @tallchick80 Those wasps are so hard to swat to death. They have a shell of steel. Even the small ones.

  • @tallchick80 loool

  • CAZADOR RUN!

  • you wont say beautiful once the gamma raidiation hits

  • Beautiful is the VERY LAST word I would call that scary son of a bitch!

  • Gus has that in his front yard?

    If I saw that, Immediatly i would think

    "Fuck that!" and then i would make a b turn in the other direction.

  • Okay...I'm never going outside again.

  • @MrFrewty yupp

  • Drunk tank anyone?

  • @MrFrewty Yup xD

  • @MrFrewty ya they should show the pictures their looking at in the same vid XD

  • its that thing from fallout

  • -Look at that!

    -Its beautifull!

    -Lets throw it in to the fire!

  • TODAY YOU, TOMORROW ME

  • Yao Ming, get the gasoline. I'll get the matches...

  • Burn it.

  • CAZADORS!

  • these things look so amazing when they're flying

  • KILL THAT LITTLE SHIT !!

    

  • good thing it wasnt the legendary cazador

  • fucking cazadors!!!!!

  • These can be found in the foothills of Central California, too. I used to live there, and saw one in my yard once. I had no idea what it was at the time, so I described it to a co-worker, and he told me it was a Tarantula Hawk, which I'd never even heard of.

  • A question popped up in my mind...

    If that thing stings me, it doesn't paralyse me.

    But if i stayed idle, and he lays a little baby inside me, does that make me a female? >:D

    But what does happen, if someone gets a larvae in his body?

    And what do i feed him?

    I already gave him my whole heart...Yet, that li'l bugger keeps buggin' me out.

    

  • They say these things have the second most painful bite, only second to the bullet ant.

  • Guys it's not got 4 wings it's not a freaking Cazador (although it looks like one just in case I see one I'm getting Knock Knock (Fire axe) ready) (Oh and a couple dozen stimpaks)

  • @Icyguy5438 The cazador was modeled after this. The Cazador is a mutated Tarantula Hawk.

  • That thing looks like a giant insect out of Fallout.

  • @DaveVanharJr thats becuz it is!

  • Why would you even get near one of those??

  • First time I encountered one of these I was in a cave and a swarm of about 5 or 6 of them came upon me... I thought, "Fuck it, they're just bugs," right? WRONG! They killed me and my follower within SECONDS.

    Oh right, and yes, I was playing Fallout.

  • I saw this video yesterday, then last night I had a dream(nightmare) that it stung my thumb and something started growing and wiggiling inside it furiously and painfully.

  • KILL IT WITH HEAVY INCENERATOR!

  • Thank God they aren't where I live.

  • shit...baby cazador's aren't as bad but........

  • VATS... VATS.... VATS VATS VATS! WHY ISN'T VATS ACTIVATING!?

  • @bloodasp101 that made me L OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO L

  • @bloodasp101 I think he wasted all his AP on the Deathclaw not to far back :D

  • @bloodasp101 My 120 gallons of flame fuel would sort that out; get myself a nice little bbq going... And now I just get the flamethro--WHAT!? It’s damaged and needs repairs... I’m fucked. Quick knuckledusters… what there damaged too... How the fuck? Arhh lead pipe! Lead pipe! Lead pipe! stim pack! stim pack! ::breath:: safe... lead pipe again! To be sure!

  • @bloodasp101 Not enough AP

  • OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD NO

  • the world needs a centipede hawk.

  • it's a fucking cazador! D:

  • @Kankles2013 omg I know right?

  • Cazador? [;

  • Bless you for saving him! So many people would have killed it!

  • CAZADOR

  • Apparently this thing is bigger than the Japanese Giant Hornet.

  • they prey on people who are trying to help new vegas.

  • "Can we use something for scale" BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzz­zzzzzzzzzzzzz "There he goes" *Hulk music plays* *cut to desert road side* *Tarantula Wasp thumbing down cars* *car pulls over* "Where you heading?" "Bzzz-BZZZ-Bzzz-Bzzz-BZZ-Zzzzz­" "Sorry I don't give rides to foreigners" *Car Drives Off*... Tune in next time for another episode of The Intrepid Wasp Man.

  • Comment removed

  • I WANT IT DEAD

  • ahw i hate them! :@ im a spider fan! :/

  • I was all happy looking at this animal in alot of videos untill i found out it lives in Arizona (AKA- The place that i live at) -_-

  • i would be scared shitless i was actually stung by something that was a 3 on the most painful insect bites trust me a three felt like getting shot by a incinderay pellet gun POINT BLANK

  • Cazador !!!

  • ANything that can stick isn't Beautiful

  • FUCKING CAZADORS !

  • big son of a beach lol

  • These things hunt TARANTULAS to feed their LARVAE! They're like the Chuck Norris of wasps.

  • Whe i se this film 3th time now.. i can hear a dog in background.. :D like he was saying gimmy that one gimmy!!!

  • Fallout: New Vegas anyone?

  • @fruitsnacksrock

    death claws have nothing on a swarm of these.

  • omg its a tiny cazador

  • beautiful? am gonna have nightmares about those things lol

  • i used to think they were only found in the amazon... or maybe they are bigger... nice colour wings

  • KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!

  • Was this the same insect that was rated one of the most painful stings thus far?

  • yes

  • @buffyou101 FYI the most painful is the bullet ant.

  • @greenacidfusion That's if you ask one person. His dogmatic view has poisoned the well of thought and few question his allegations. No, the BA is NEVER the most painful; natives & outsiders both do the glove ritual taking over 100 BA stings, recover 2 to 3 days.  A dozen T hawk stings would overwhelm the nervous system, cause shock & fatality, same with the Japanese hornet. 30 Australian bulldog ant stings kill, same as 30 common red wasp stings that many BA stings don't! Puss caterpillar??

  • @skirts365 Hmm, then how come is it on the top of the schmidt pain index?

  • @greenacidfusion It's a subjective index. Pain can't be precisely quantified as in, 6 ounces of gold vs 2 ounces. Sting chemicals vary but have overlapping compounds. As different stings are sampled, body builds up antibodies, causing successive stings to be less severe due to immune response. Maybe he tried the BA 1st. Sting site also matters--cheek hurts more than forearm. Was venom sac full or depleted when stung? Was insect brushed off fast or was full dose taken? COW KILLER--BEWARE!

  • @skirts365 have you been stung by all these? No. Whether it kills you are not has nothing to do with how painful it is.

  • @TouchMeTherePlease Schmidt is not the only voice on the subject of stings, but seems to be the only voice you want to listen to! Pain not correlated with lethality? Emergency room anti-venom specialists would not concur with that opinion, and they deal with wasp stings, not only snake bites. I don't think you've taken the stings either, so your view is as subjective as anyone else's! There's a large body of physiological study on stings and to say Schmidt is by himself is shortsighted!

  • @skirts365 No i have not been stung so i have to go on other peoples authority, which pretty much all say the bullet ant is the most painful. What and who exactly are you going on? Emergency room anti-venom specialists would not say lethality and pain are related as your nervous system or respetory system being shut down is not direcly related to pain. Subjective view? So are you saying that anything can be more painful than anything, a misquito bite more than a bullet ant?

  • @skirts365 and if so its pretty self defeating argument. When its said it is the most painful sting it means stings that happen in similar circumstances, ie a sting by each in the arm, and how it would be felt for the majority of people. Some person may find one sting more painful contrary to how everyone else experiences it, but that does not matter since we are speaking in generalities when it is said its the most painful. None of your argumets make any case for the TW sting,

  • @TouchMeTherePlease The fact that you can't even spell correctly ("misquito" and "argumets") are proof you're a babbling moron; if you can't grasp simple English, you sure can't comprehend complex science! Therefore, I'm blocking you, and you can blow kisses to your heart's content to Schmidt and his flawed, faulty "research."

  • @skirts365 really? all you have is two minor spelling mistakes to refute me? Your a joke

  • fack you

    

  • Dont let it sting you, most painful insect (Aside from bullet ant).

  • Ooo, I love these things. I used to catch them up in the Heber Overgaard area of Arizona when I spent time up at my uncle's cabin. And when I mean catch, I mean with my hands. They are actually very timid things. I've seen em get up to around 1.5 inches. Maybe they can get bigger.

  • Fucking calzadors.

  • damn so brave if i ever seen one of those charging at me with its stinger

    i would bassicaly lay a turd on the spot

  • have saved thousands of small animals like this from drowning in the bird baths. they always seem to appreciate it. i just use a twig and they crawl on it then i put it in a place where they can dry off and regain their senses. we have these t hawks here in the sierras. they like to feast upon the yarrow flowers

  • @guyglowmore1 GOOD FOR SAVEVING THEM;-] but have you ever got stung by one i read that they have the 2nd most painful sting only the BULLET ANT is stronger the tarantulas hawk's sting is described as blinding, fierce and shockingly electric!_!

  • for some reason wasps , especially hornets, scare the crap out of me (opposed the spiders we have here in europe) so i would go near a tarantula hawl, ever ever ever, but they're pretty interesting to watch... its like a horror movie.

  • these things supposed to have one of the worst stings outta all insects. you got more guts than me

  • My uncle told me about a guy who was unlucky enough to swat one of those wasps it laid an egg in him. Probably by accident

  • i saw one of these today in my backyard they're pretty big

  • that's an amazing bugger, huge even for TH standards.

  • Wasps are magnificent looking creatures, great video, the closeups are beaut.

  • lol little guy is like "I aint scard of nothing, I EAT SPIDERS B***H!!!" lol :P

  • thats one big mother.

  • thats gross, i hate wasp. i would cut it in half

  • im scared shitless of these things, they are fucking huge, my god, hope i never get stung by 1 >.<

  • I've been bitten by one before worst experience in my life ever

  • why is it called the tarantula hawk?

  • because it preys on tarantulas like hawks prey on mice

  • @waywardmuse Does it make a good pet?

  • @TheDarklord0211 a hawk lurks around thing it need 2 look 4 that y its called a hawk wasp

  • o my god.. that would hurt getting stung by that. its freaking sweet anyways..

  • I see a lot of these where I live probably because there are a lot of tarantulas. The ones I see are metalic blue with red wings this on seems to be black.

  • beautiful!!!

  • I heard that a sting from one of these guys is like getting shot with a gun! 

    You sure are brave!!

  • This is a Male tarantula hawk. You can see the difference between males and females that females have curved antennas .

  • can this be danger for humans?

  • Only if it's messed with and if it's a female. This one is a male. I just had the same experience with a female. Will be posting the vid soon so stay tuned! 

  • @waywardmuse umm i would like to tell you something...

    UMM WHY THAT FUCKIN INSECT HAS AN RED WING?

    AND THE BODY LOOKS LIKE A UMMM FLY?!?!! ?? :)

  • @waywardmuse what do the females do

  • they are the ones that paralyze the spider, bury it, lay eggs on it, etc. Watch my other videos and I'll have a new one on a female up real soon. thanks for your comment!

  • @jarekmessi94 i hear it is non lethal. but is oneof the most painful stings of all

  • that thing is a proper YETI

  • lol u guys r brave that thing's sting hurts like a mother f!cker

  • is not a spider.

  • those fuckers ot big ass stingers!

  • u have balls, i cant even get close to a bee without trying to get away from it

  • 0:42

    Wasp- Hi mom!!

  • i was in Arizona last week and one of these things landed in our Jeep tour car! its still fascinating though

  • Worlds most painful sting? and your playing with it? One word. Retards.

  • @jessej432 they werent playing with it...they saved it from drowning ....just because its a big scary bug doesnt mean it should die....most animals AND insects will actually leave you alone if they know you just saved them from death, just look up the vid of the guy who saved a polar bear's baby in front of the mom bear(usually itd have ripped his head off)then just walked off after her cub was saved...animals arent stupid dude..if you save one..they know it

  • @BlakeTahoe Heheh, actually, when I was 4 I saved a bee drowning in the gutter...bastard stung me on the thumb for it. Saving them or not, you have to be careful. An animal in distress can turn on you in an instant, you don't mess around with instinct.

  • Lol I was at the Sonoran desert museum a few minutes ago...

  • you wont catch me holding one of those things i dont care if they rarely sting humans

  • did you know the tarantula hawk wasp was the inspiration for alien?

  • i saw one of those fuckers in my BACKYARD JUST NOW

  • shoulda let it drown..

  • That is some scary shit right there.

  • I know they're not particularly agressive, but just seeing one that close, and seeing someone holding it, makes me jumpy.

  • YOU RESCUED HIM!?!?!? SMOOSH THAT FUCKER YOU ASS HOLES... if i find one the size of a cat, im traping it and putting it in your house

  • Thank you lord we don't have those monsters in Europe

  • fuck the sticks and stomping on the bitch its time to break out the C-4 and RPGs on them bitches. if one of thoes things landed on my i would shit a cow and that cow would shit a goat which would shit a goose which would shit a 500 karrot gold egg. god if only if only

  • you are really brave!i would have been scared of it

  • Kill it!!!!!!!!!!!Kill it!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow i bet that feels good when you get stung :o

  • @iflydelta1101 It's said that the intensity and pain of the Tarantula Hawk sting is only second to the Bullet Ant. I've been stung by just regular bees and wasps and that's enough for me. To think that those are just childs play in comparison to the sting of one of these guys, blows my mind. The female is the scary one as well, she's got a 7mm (1/3 of an inch) stinger on her!

  • @cmay119 ooh! yeah thats wonderful! :o

  • badass bug

  • its gunna die isnt it ma ,you can hear them when they fly by you, weird stuff
