Wasp Carries Away Its Catch

Occurred on February 7, 2023 / Malaysia

: "Hunting wasp paralyses spider. Immobilising the spider, the wasp lugs its back to the burrow. This guest doesn't just die. The venom is long-lasting so the hunts wasp has the chance to lay its eggs within the spider. Once they hatch, a nice fresh meal is waiting. Alternatively... the spider gets eaten from the inside - yum! I saw this wasp struggling with its catch whilst walking along the beach. Instantly regretted trying to help. Later on, both wasp and spider were gone, can only assume they made it home!"
