Spider wasp drags Tarantula into hole
Description:
Summary[edit] Description: English: The female tarantula wasp has stunned the tarantula with its sting. In the video she pulls it into a hole in the ground. There it will lay a single egg on the belly of the spider. When the larva will hatch, it drills a hole into the paralyzed spider and eats it alive from the inside. The vital organs are spared until the end. Date: 23 February 2019. Source: Own work. Author: Yves Sorge.
