Nayla - tarantula recovers from wasp attack

[PF718]

Wow! nice ending! I didn't think it took a year for a full recovery. The only thing, I wouldn't have been able to release her back in the wild, I would be too worried...

[farinsho]

what a nice video, Good job, i´m very happy for Nayla, a big hug from colombia.

[IhateLynnMoses]

I'm not a fan of spiders but I don't like those wasps at all! Well done for looking after this spider.

[sucreh06]

3:26, what a nice place to be, I truly envy her

[elizaalmabuena]

@sucreh06 hahahahahaha what can I say, she was an awsome broach

[sucreh06]

You have to put in this above:

Death Fight! Hawk wasp takes on tarantula

[sucreh06]

now look at this, a real satisfaction for tarantula fans, the spider doesn´t lose allways...

[davidrockyriverohio]

that spider is a whore...

[elizaalmabuena]

@davidrockyriverohio that doesn't even make sense

[BowserKoopa777]

This video is amazing! It made me cry. Nayla had an angel to take care of her. It reminds me of my little sweet heart, my little Pink Toe.

[novelimager]

It's amazing how it is cool to sacrifice cute little (domesticated) mice to tarantulas and call it "nature" but then it is nice, judging by some comments, to these same spider lovers when tarantulas in turn are saved from pepsis wasps. To me, those pepsis wasps avenge the mice!

[elizaalmabuena]

@novelimager hmm mice are more for snakes that bite and let go than tarantulas that hang on, the mice would fight back and kill the tarantula. Obviously when you like something your position becomes biased. I have nothing against the pepsis wasps, that’s why I set the tarantula free where she has to deal with life and its dangers, what I’m against is the person that scared the wasp and left the tarantula to die a slow, useless death.

@elizaalmabuena

like you say, u like something, you become biased.

on that note...i'm sure there are people out there that raise and breed those wasps.

whatever the point of view, what you did is a shining example of ethical behavior towards life itself and i bow to your efforts! cheers.

[elizaalmabuena]

@onehitwonderwoman Thank you, that's really nice to hear... read XP

[veelalynne]

Nayla is lucky to have a friend like you. Hopefully, she is out there living her spider life free of future pepsis wasp attacks. You saved her from a horrible fate. My tarantulas, Puss and Charlotte, also thank you.

[elizaalmabuena]

@veelalynne awww Puss and Charlotte sound so sweet ^.^ Thanks for the comment

[theridersblog]

slow but miraculous recovery. you are amazing.

[bepianoful]

this is what life is al about................great vid god bless

[sinato]

I'm not usually a spider fan but that's a really sweet video, I hope that Tarantula never got into trouble again and still lives today :) Very sweet. I also somehow wish it recognised you as helping it! that would be even cooler!

[deedubyas]

i quite liked the video...but it's funny that you said "don't interfere with nature"

[elizaalmabuena]

@deedubyas ???... it is???

[frostbackt]

@deedubyas

As she wrote, she didn't stop the wasp attack, but only treated the injured spider. The wasp wants its prey, and attacks on interfering humans have been reported. Likely, the wasp was killed by the person who stopped the attack.

[dbdscruffy]

That was one of the coolest videos i have seen.

[b7r7u7c7e]

This is one of the coolest videos Ive ever seen. Im amazed you took so much time and care with the spider. I didnt know the wasp sting was that powerful. Scary.

[elizaalmabuena]

@b7r7u7c7e I'm glad you liked the video. I didn't know it was the strong either, I thought I was only going to care for her for a few days and suddenly months strated to pass by XD

[MrMysticFenix]

@elizaalmabuena OMG!! THIS VIDEO IS BEAUTIFULL!!!! I LIKE THIS VIDEO!! I LIKE ! I LIKE!! 5*/5*!!! (:

[elizaalmabuena]

@MrMysticFenix wow! a lot of excitement, thanks ^.^

[NWMVCJenthevet]

Aw....! I love the music; so inspirational. I was cheering as she went from dragging herself to getting feisty with food in the fish bowl. :) I got teary-eyed with joy when you were releasing her. Thanks for sharing and for caring! <3

[elizaalmabuena]

@NWMVCJenthevet thank you for the comment ^u^ I'm glad you liked the video

[RobGreenTV]

YOU WIN SOME YOU LOSE SOME

[tarantulaguy654]

What did you feed her at 3:27 ?

[elizaalmabuena]

@tarantulaguy654 it's a grasshopper, about 2 inches long, more or less her size

[moynul123]

after the wasp bit it did it just leave the spider paralised or did u rescue it before it could eat it or lay its eggs in it?

[elizaalmabuena]

@moynul123 a family member saw the wasp and tarantula fight and went over to scare the wasp away, then asked me if I could help the tarantula since we noticed she was limp and had been stung. Luckyly wasps lay the egg until after they drag the tarantula away, so she was only stung. The wasp kept looking for her though, she spent half an hour searching for the tarantula in the driveway (that's where we found them.)

[TantalusTom]

very cool video! bet it was hard for you to part with it...

[elizaalmabuena]

@TantalusTom a bit... I do sometimes wish I had her with me again, but it's for the best, I'll be leaving to study in the uk soon and my parents wouldn't have taken care of her.

[mayomayomayo]

I'm not a spider guy but this is an awesome video

[elizaalmabuena]

@mayomayomayo I'm flattered, someone that isn't all that fond of spiders liked my video ;p Nayla actually turn a friend of mine into a spider guy XD, he was willing to help take care of her while I was out on vacation for about two weeks close to the begining of her recovery, after a couple of days he ended up loving her.

[rbrigid1]

Truly amazing, Eliza!!

[elizaalmabuena]

@rbrigid1 thanks ^.^

[KrokodilaGena]

wow, just wow

[elizaalmabuena]

@KrokodilaGena you seem speechless....I'll consider that a good thing XP
