This video is old, and I’ll just say something as an owner of tarantulas: that wasp was most likely tampered with. The wound on the back of the wasp seems incredibly unnatural. The fact that the very end of the wasp was pretty cleanly chopped off suggests that the person behind the camera cut it off the wasp. Tarantula fangs can’t make that type of clean injury, and tarantulas don’t aim to remove the stinger. Plus, the video starts with the spider having already captured the wasp. Most likely, the person behind the camera caught this wasp or found it battling the tarantula. They then proceeded to cut the stinger off of it, and either made them fight again or manually fed it to the tarantula. These wasps almost never lose due to their incredible strategy and immunity to the venom. Just a side note to people who may think this is how these battles may go. If the wasp still had its stinger, this tarantula would have been paralyzed long before the bite could do anything. At worst, they would both die.
@@tobigtosuk I believe most of these wasps are immune to the (potential) paralytic and toxic effects of tarantula venom. The mechanical damage will still do something like breaking wings, creating wounds, etc. But they normally aren’t affected by the venom
Fair assessment I would say, the wasp appears to have been disabled. I have only seen one video in many were the tarantula wins the struggle and that was due to a botched attack by the wasp.
Ok James, thats one of the best videos I have seen about the clash between Wasp and Tarantula. As I could see in this fight the Tarantula destroyed the last part of the wasp. I do not know if finally THE TARANTULA won the fight but its really amazing because there are alot of videos where the wasps win the battles in order to 9/10 times more less. So I would know if according your perspective in this case the tarantula won the fight against it's natural enemy and predator. Cheers!
yeah, every single one of these wasps came from a successful wasp mother so they're very well adapted for this fight but the spider doesn't have to win it just has to avoid detection, so it's not so well suited to defending itself since not every spider has to battle a wasp in order to reproduce.
the wasp has an extremely hard exoskeleton, how the wasp lost his stinger looks strange, this is a big wound, i'm sure this video was staged!! f... cheaters!
Most of the times. The tarantula hawk wasp doesn't always sting and paralyze it and drag it to the burrow to lay a egg on the large spider's body as a parasite to be hatched out as a larva for it to be devoured to metamorphise into an adult hawk wasp. Sometimes, the tarantula is victorious! In dedication to all of tarantulas that was lost through parasitic predation from the tarantula hawk wasp!
I uploaded this video for my father in law so he could show a friend, as it was too large to email. We never had any idea this many people would see it and comment. To answer a few questions... this was shot at Elephant Butte NM in his backyard, at the time my father in law shot it he didn't realize it was a tarantula hawk (just a wasp). He saw the tarantula fighting with the wasp and set his phone down to video them. We assume the tarantula got in a lucky bite and severed the stinger but have no way of knowing that for sure. The tarantula hawk eventually flew off and the tarantula went back into his burrow. This wasn't in anyway staged, it's not a pet tarantula, he didn't cut the stinger off. He was just in the right place at the right time to capture their wrestling match. I couldn't believe it either when i saw it the first time...
great video. looks like the spider finally won. so many of these show the spider loosing and to top it off this is one of the first ones I've seen where the spider won and didn't wind up being stung
i love people who have conversations about daily life while recording something they fully intend to share with the world. thanks so much for the window into the lives of ordinary people who only use the internet to look up movie times and do online bill pay.
@tundra tiger Impossible. You cannot get two insects to perform for the camera. That's a Tarantula Hawk wasp. It's doing what it's been doing for millions of years, preying on Tarantula. How do you think this is staged, may i ask
I love the whole never say die men tality of the Tarantula Hawk Wasp, but once you're hooked by those reverse curving fangs of the Tarantula it's goodnight Irene. Pretty much whatever unlucky sap that's on the receiving end is basically dusted. Meantime one leg left over is a banquet to a colony of ants, the rest of the scraps are residual stock.
Watching these Videos I always wondered why The Tarantula don't just kill The Tarantula Hawk and now I get It. It took a long time and a whole lot of venom to get the job done. Great Video
I’ll tell you-to watch this dude multi-task is just amazing, isn’t it? All creatures, great and small...nature is a trip, isn’t it? Oh, yeah, this is great ‘over dinner’ conversation! When you consider what’s actually taking place here, I mean!
Man that's rare, those wasps are specialized to take down tarantulas. First video I've seen where the tarantula actually wins. Those wasps do lose to spiders they don't specialize in, like any of the web building ones, though they are usually powerful enough to break out of webs more often then not.
This tarantula got lucky. He managed to inflict a deadly blow onto the wasp. His venom is coursing through the wasp’s body and even if it does escape, it’s not going to get very far.
Start of the video, the wasp already had its stinger dislodged. maybe the spider did it, maybe the guy recording did it. Hard to tell without the full story
The fact that the wasp stayed alive for more than 15 minutes is an indication of how evolution made it very tolerant to its prey's venom. It's almost impossible for the spider to grab and pierce its fangs to the hard and slippery exoskeleton of the wasp without being stung. This spider luckily grab and bite the wasp in a position that made it out of reach for the sting.
@Ronnel Echavez Yes. Right in the skinny bit where the thorax joins the abdomen. The wasp is having trouble curving her abdomen over the top of the spider to land a sting.
Why is it that the one time I see a wasp actually getting defeated by a spider, the video starts with the wasp already in the spider's jaws? It was probably wounded and fed to the spider.
@@metalwarrior1893 I don't believe it is fake. This hawks don't always win especially against a more experienced spider. I have seen a documentary about Tarantulas that included these wasps
I’m not a fan of spiders but finally!!! A video where one wins! Death by hatched eggs of these wasps while paralysed and eaten alive is not a nice way to go
Sinceramente é a primeira vez q vejo uma tarantula abatendo uma vespa dessa,nunca imaginei q eu fosse presenciar algo assim, apesar da potência da aranha, isso é algo inimaginável
Tarantula Hawk didn't have a chance its stinger looks like its been damaged. Dont' understand why it would attack a tarantula when it is injured. Unfortunate we missed out on how that happened.
At first I thought that white membrane that was pertruding from the abdomen of the Wasp was the egg it usually lays inside the Tarantula after successfully immobilizing it, until I remembered that all wasps have that membrane.
It ain't egg laying time yet, it's murder time. There's speculation that the injury was deliberately caused to sway the outcome of the fight. Unable to see how the spider could cause that particular injury, I'm inclined to agree
What are those repeated stabbing motions doing with the hawks legs? Are those talons on the end? Does it penetrate the tarantulas skin? Quite rapacious
From looking at it. Stinger wasn’t cut off, if it was. It would been a clean cut. Look like it got broke during the fight. We didn’t even see the start of the fight. Must’ve bit the stinger at the start which would explain why the THawk lost.
Trying to work out what is stuck to the end of the wasps abdomen, it looks like wasp innards. She called it Cow Killer which is actually a flightless species of wasp also known, confusingly,as Velvet Ant. Also has a powerful venomous sting.
FINALLY! The Spider wins! Later that night, bragging to his spider friends, "Nah! I wasn't afraid at all! I was too quick and strong for him - I caught him in my front legs and I told him - NOT TODAY, Buddy, I'm gonna kick your butt!" And he then leverages his local fame and opens up a famous and very successful, "Joe's Tarantula JuiJitsu" business - specializing in defeating the feared Tarantula Hawk Wasp. 😆
That's what I thought too but the wasp is still alive while being eaten by the tarantula. It's very unlikely that someone will grab a wasp with the most painful sting and try to feed it to a tarantula.
I hate seeing the tarantulas loose most of the time as well, however it seems this tarantula had a helping hand. Looks as if the stinger from the wasp was pulled out. Could just be me tho....
Who disarmed the tarantula hawk? Might this have been done before the tarantula got hold of the wasp? Also, looks like the ants were winning this battle.
I hope not. That would be a brutally pointless thing to do. I think if you did something like that to a wasp if would be too traumatised to deal with the spider. And i don't think a Tarantula would go out of its way to attack a Tarantula Hawk, the wasp is not a prey item, and there's no reason for this spider to engage unless it were forced to. It's clear the spider got lucky, it happens once in a while
@@philipfisher5168 hello again thats absolutely what happened and i applaud him! Im definitely cutting those nasty bastards stingers off then forcing them to fight lol
The ants are going to win this battle. I saw the injury on the wasp bit it still has its stinger. Not sure what that other comment was going on about. Most turantulas don't out up much of a fight. They just try to get away from the wasp. On occasion you can find an aggressive t. I wish more Ts would defend themselves with their fangs in nature. They die to things they could win against if they just got really mad, moved like we all know they can and bite.
The Tarantula Spider successfully takes down the Tarantula Hawk (Pepsis) Wasp with its powerful fangs and injects venom on tarantula hawk (Pepsis) wasp and it takes the first straw!
How is it that the tarantula didn't manage to get a strike on the wasp? I don't think the wasp would have been able to resist that vigorously if it had been poisoned, the volume of poison would be too great for it. So why wasn't the tarantula able to get a proper venom injection? Had it run out, perhaps?
Apparently to the camera guy the spider was lucky to get a strong grip. However the wasp eventually escaped and flew off. Spider went back to the burrow. Let’s call it a draw then.

First thing I noticed was stinger was cut. Don't see initial engagement. Probably staged. Interesting that wasp lasted so long (if bitten) can't tell.
Its not cut you can see it poking out multiple times. Sometime Ts win and especially wondering spiders.
Ants really are opportunistic hunters.
That's the best wrestling match ever where the ametuer defeated the experienced one.
Looks like the Tarantula Hawk has a badly damaged stinger .
it feels like she was specially torn off the sting and thrown a tarantula. but I may be wrong.
