Big Spider becomes a breeding vessel for the Amazing Spider Wasp. I was working in an area infested with giant Huntsman spiders. After saving the two big spiders and returning them to nature we were putting these spiders into some very dangerous grounds. Lurking around the trees is the amazing Spider Wasp. These big wasps don’t eat the spiders! They work just like the Aliens from the Hollywood film. The Spider Wasp stings and paralyses the giant spider, drags it to her nest and lays eggs on the spider. The wasp larva will hatch and feed on the Huntsman spider that’s as fresh as the day it was caught. Capturing this moment is very difficult, it happens for a very brief moment in time within a few weeks of the year. It’s only the second time I have seen the Spider Wasp dragging a giant spider to her breeding grounds. I have found the Spider Wasp to be non aggressive, I could get right up close and she was never seeing me as a threat. Mind you not all wasps are like this, some wasps can cause serious injury or even death to humans. Wasps tend to get a bad name, I think they are awesome.

Spider Wasps are solitary wasps that use a single spider as a host for feeding their larvae. They paralyze the spider with a venomous stinger. Once paralyzed, the spider is dragged to where a nest will be built – some wasps having already made a nest. A single egg is laid on the abdomen of the spider, and the nest or burrow is closed. Spider wasps protect their nests by putting dead ants into the outermost chamber, the chemicals within deterring predators.
