Wasp Vs. Spider Deathmatch!

geekologie -> This is a video of a red wasp and some sort of spider GOING AT IT in a battle to the death. Who wins? Definitely not anybody who watches the video, I can tell you that. The wasp -- the wasp wins. It runs circles around the spider stabbing it in the head until it is DEAD. Bonus zombie leg twitch at 1:18. I'm never going outside again. Well, not after one final trip to the liquor store doused in Raid. "That's lighter fluid." *wink* I want off this planet.

It's a species of huntsman spider, wich are pretty harmless things, and a specialist spider hunting wasp. The spider never stood a chance.

It's not dead at the end, but merely paralysed. It will be buried in a small burrow dug by the wasp and sut in with the eggs of the wasp laid on it's body. When the eggs hatch they'll have a nice fresh meal of spider to get them going. It will be eaten alive in the burrow.

The wasp doesn't kill the spider because although paralysed it's bodys defenses will still repel infection, meaning it'll stay fresher longer.

Nice.
