Yesterday my mayordomo stopped me as I was backing down the driveway at my "finca" to show me a bright blue wasp dragging a large tarantula it had killed to it's den. The day before when we were collecting firewood he picked up a small scorpion by it's tail and tossed it aside however he moved the wasp and it's prey VERY gingerly with a long stick when I asked him to move them so as not to be crushed by my tire. That thing must pack a whallop!
Spider isn't dead, of course, just paralyzed. It has to be alive so it doesn't spoil before the wasp larva developes and eats its way to the outer world.
Yes paralysed, thanks for reminding.
