Wasp vs Wolf Spider

    While looking out of my window this afternoon, I noticed a paralysed Wolf Spider being dragged across the lawn by a wasp. I knew that the wasp would look for a place to bury the spider, so I followed it. As expected, the wasp dug a small tunnel, inserted the spider, and then buried it alive.
    Towards the end of the video, as the wasp fills the hole, it rapidly beats its abdomen against the gravel and some small rocks. I'm not exactly sure what this behaviour is. Perhaps egg-laying?

    The spider was still alive it will soon be eaten alive by the wasp larvae while paralyzed

      I cant figure out why the spiders, regardless of species and of the wasp, dont fling web into the wasps face and try to tie its wings enough to slow it down.
      After watching dozens of these wasp vs spider vids, none of the spiders seem to use their seemingly most effective defensive weapon.

    Great video! Wasp and hornets do so much to keep the numbers of spiders and various insects in check. I see so many videos of people killing wasp and hornet nest with shotguns, flame throwers, Raid. etc. Nature has a food chain in place to maintain balance. Thank you for not spraying the wasp, spider and ants with Raid and allowing us to see nature at work.

    I've seen this scene play out with these pepsis wasp and huge wolf spiders. Always, it's either the spider loses or run as fast as they can out of their burrows to avoid the wasp. It's amazing how, after a millions years of evolution nature tells them "Don't bother, you can't win."

    The rapid abdomen beats seem to be an effort to pulverize the ground and pack it down. Ovopositing all that time would seem unlikely.

    It's a wonder those ants didn't just wait until the wasp had moved away from the site and then burrowed into the hole the paralyzed spider was in. The ants know where dinner is, they'll probably swarm over it if the wasp didn't pack down the entrance firmly enough. There is another video where the ants stole a paralyzed spider while the wasp was digging it's hole out, and then the wasp made the fatal mistake of wandering into an antlion's sand trap.

    • @TealeBritstra
      @TealeBritstra  3 роки тому

      And the lesson here is, if a wasp can accurately sting small, scurrying ants, then if it wants to sting you there's not much you can do about it. Thus, wasps generally don't want to sting people, because if they did we'd be covered in welts! 🙂

      wasp never killed the spider just paralysed it. When she buried it she laid an egg on it which will hatch and eat the spider alive underground. once the spider is dead an adult wasp will hatch from its dead body
