  • Yes!!! That's exactly what I saw in my backyard in Adelaide. I have never seen a wasp like that before, does anyone know what type of wasp this is? I saw it on 2 occasions carrying separate huntsmans to a crack in the dirt. The first time I saw it dragging a huntsman and a redback ran up to the wasp and bit the wasp, then the wasp dropped the huntsman and went crazy bumping into everything. I thought it would die but I saw it again a few days later... Anyone know what it is?

  • hey, we had a nest in our garden in sydney(our garden looked like jurassic park) so i'm pretty sure it's a spider wasp, not sure of the exact name though.

  • MEH EATSS!!!

  • They Don't Kill The Spiders.... they paralyze them and then barre them in the ground and lay a couple eggs on it when the eggs hatch the spider is still fresh because its still alive and the baby wasp eat it alive

  • @mickgolubovic no its a wood nest wasp iv seen them befor themake there homes in wood and put there eggs in the spider so when they hatch they have some thing to eat

  • @djlivingfire one insect that is apparently more painful is the bullet ant, their sting is deadlier than any wasp.

  • That's a pepsis wasp, commonly called a tarantula hawk. I was stung by one in my twenties while landscaping. The sting impressed me much that I called the department of horticulture and learned everything about the wasp. A fascinating creature, but believe me, it's sting is by far the most painful of any insect in the states.

  • This wasp lays eggs on this Spider, it doesnt eat it, lays eggs, then feed on the spider's body till they hatch outside of it, actually worse than quick death

  • that was great... looks like a Cryptocheilus sp.

  • damn,thats crazy!
