I live in Taiwan and saw something similar. There was a huge huntsman (similar to the Australian one) on my driveway, which had been stung by a wasp/hornet that specifically attacks arachnids. There was an ant's nest near by (2-3 feet away) and a few of them came out to see what was going on. I could see the thought process of "Now lads, if we play this right, we might get both of them...just be cool!" They were right! both the wasp and spider took some damage, slowed down and the ants just swarmed them both. Really quite impressive!
Next time that happens, make sure you have some mobile camera capturing the action! That would be most impressive to see on RUclips, a spider vs. wasp fight usurped by an ant swarm! :D
Stevan Petkovic also if they only prey on SPECIFICALLY tarantulas why is this one preying on a spider?cuz I compared it to another vid with tarantula hawk and it has the sam coloration and everything
Actually I don’t think the wasp kills the spider. Just paralzes it to drag back to it’s cave where it’s newly hatched young will feed off it’s body slowly and painfully.
The Wasp paralyzes the Spider, right? The larva eats the 🕷️ until it's gone, right? In other words, the Spider dies so that the Wasp lives, right? It's the cycle of life, right? Something must die for the other to live. Death is simple.
When I was a child, I read a fantasy story about a boy who heard a tiny voice pleading for help. The voice promised to grant him one wish as a reward. When he looked closer, he saw a wasp caught in a spider’s web, struggling next to the spider. The boy quickly killed the spider to save the wasp. But in the end, he discovered that the voice begging for help had actually belonged to the spider.
If you notice on these match ups, the spider ALWAYS sits on it's ass and lets the wasp or tarantula hawk make the first move. This always results in the spider losing. I would love to see this kind of match up with a Sydney Funnelweb, because now you have an aggressive, mean as hell spider that will strike first and not be docile.
If you had two poison laced knives that you’ve been training with since birth, wouldn’t you be cool and calculated against a wolf that doesn’t fear you, while trying to be as unpredictable and shocking as you could to a giant that you know fears you?
For those wondering about the ID of the wasp and the spider, I’m pretty sure this is Southern Africa, considering the accents, the surname ‘Redelinghuys’, and the use of Afrikaans. We have a family of spider hunting wasps, Pompilidae, of which this would be a typical example. Most likely of the Tachypompilus genus, considering wing and leg colouring and the ID of the spider. The spider looks to be a rain/huntsman spider (Palystes), having long hairy legs with banding on the underside, a fat body and a particular way of moving. They’re commonly called rain spiders for their behaviour of sheltering inside when storms come and are venomous, though their venom is no more dangerous than a bee sting would be to the average human.
Spiders can kill almost all insects but these tarantula hawks are their natural predators.. Trying to run away probably yields them a higher % of surviving than fighting
Tarantula hawks paralyses its prey and drag it into nesting hole and lay its egg inside the spider. Its larvae will eat the spider from the inside out all while the spider is alive.
Yeah but not against a spider wasp that specifically hunt spiders. The only spider that can kill this wasp is probably a black widow perhaps. Venoms that are stronger than the wasp.
@@sheFEISTY.43110 specific wasps prey on specific spiders. I think it's safe to assume no wasp hunts for cellar spiders, like holocnemus pluchei, because they are just too small. Also, jumping spiders are quite smart and can see very well, they are difficult preys.
Nice teachable moment for your kid.. now when the kid is 10 years old, they're gonna have their room filled with insects, ant farms , snakes, scorpion's and everything else he learned as a child.. lol
*Me sees a giant spider vs wasp* Me: Interesting.....Keep going. *sees spider struggles and lose* Me: Aight, that's enough. Your living privileges has expired wasp. Boot and spray time.
MrRedeyedJedi the device is used for innovation and learning and is not a negative thing it is a useful learning tool and if you don’t think that’s right that’s fine but humans have not become lazy they invent things that help younger generations learn things they want to know

This appears to be a tarantula hawk attempting to paralyze the spider, so that it can lay it's eggs on its back or abdomen. Cool video. Thanks for sharing!
A documentary was described the difficulty a spider has in landing a winning blow on the wasp. "It's like a human holding a glass bottle in one hand, then trying to drill through it using the other hand". (paraphrasing) So even if the spider manages to get the wasp in its fangs, the wasp still has a brilliant chance of escaping death.
Best vid ever,little girl is precious as Dad teachers her about the spider & spider wasp. She also reminds Dad that they shall return to the beach,Not Home!! 😂lol Bahahahaha
That wasp is harmless to humans. Just hunts spiders. Some even collect the spiders and put them in a sealed mud nest with an egg, so the baby wasp can eat as it matures.
Nah, the wasp is laser-focused on the spider. Spider wasp stings hurt like hell (thought they're pretty harmless), but they usually don't care about people, they only sting if you grab them or something. The ones that can go after you are the ones that defend colonies, like Yellowjackets and honeybees, while this one is solitary so it only defends itself if it needs to.
Against a tarantula hawk (wasp), it's very unlikely the spider will ever win. The wasp's venom has a paralyzing effect on the spider when delivered in sufficient amounts, which allows the wasp to lay it's eggs on the spider. These types of wasp's specifically seek out spiders.
Another "Mud Dauber" Wasp, thinning out the Spider Population! I have plenty of Mud Dauber nests around, so will be watching for such contests, next spring! For those "Arachnophiles" out there: I've got nothing in particular against Spiders.... they're a very necessary part of my areas biodome! I'd much rather have a few spiders, than hidden nests of Hornets & Wasps! Two exceptions however, are Brown Recluse and Black Widows.... the latter of which are plentiful, around my woodland home! I've spent most of the last 44 years around them and haven't been bitten yet! A record, I intend to maintain, if at all possible!!! I've read that an envenomated Black Widow bite, causes Constant, Severe, Bodywide Pain, for DAYS at a time, with "ONLY their "Rare & Expensive Antivenin" to decrease it! Few people around me even know of their presence, as they're not as obvious as the Rattlesnakes and European Giant Hornets!
If you've ever seen a Mud Dauber before they're more yellowish and hunt smaller Arachnids, I've had one craft a Mud nest where my curtain was since i would leave the window cracked every so often. After killing the Dauber i took it's Nest and inside were four greenish looking spiders still intact (due to the paralyzing of course), and two brown looking one's, and right there on one of the spiders Abdoman was the Dauber's Larvae
The spider was drugged to the max. At that stage it wouldn't be capable of fighting back. if it was going to kill the wasp it would've been early on. Wasp simply too quick & mobile for the spider..
I have seen these wasps whilst visiting South Africa. They are large compared to the European wasp and a big slow moving spider like this would have little chance. These wasps are like the attack helicopters of the insect world. Still, a good blart over its noggin with a rolled up newspaper would sort the wee bastard out.
Meanwhile that little ant who is watching is now going to go back and tell all his homies so that they can swarm the spider and wasp to later eat them as food.
And the wasp larvae eat the spider from inside out, with instincts provided by Mother Nature to miss the vital organs until last, keeping their meal alive and warm. A great life lesson for young Timmy.
Le pompil est le grand vainqueur. L'araignée voulait pas se battre et éviter à tout prix le combat. Elle devait sûrement savoir la détermination du pompil à assurer sa descendance. L'araignée servira de nourriture aux larves.

Wasp: I see spider
Spider: why do I hear boss music
Spider encountered wasp, GO spider1
Xdddd
why did i just see this exact comment on a god of wat video
Kid: their playinggg.
Man: the game of deathhh 😂
1:20
Boy: “They’re playing!”
Dad: “In a way...
*whispers* the game of death”
😁
Wasn't this a Brazilian wandering spider?
People who are still unclear about the wasp, I am pretty sure that is a Tarantula Hawk and yes they are specificly prey tarantulas.
Stevan Petkovic Then what is it cuz it look s exactly like a tarantula hawk??
I do not understand your question? It is lined up as if I said it was not an Tarantula Hawk.
Stevan Petkovic it moves acts and looks like one
Stevan Petkovic also if they only prey on SPECIFICALLY tarantulas why is this one preying on a spider?cuz I compared it to another vid with tarantula hawk and it has the sam coloration and everything
BugFights2dahdeath 145 tarantulas are just big hairy spiders
one of those rare instances when you actually feel bad for the spider
Lmao
Nope! Lol
Not that rare. Some of us prefer spiders over wasps any day.
Ikr. 😂😂
Nick B I keep them
Imagine being the tiny ant at 1:17 and watch those two giants fight
+HushHush Oh god, imagine seeing a human as an ant. I bet the human would be so tall, you couldn't even see their head.
I'd Be Terrified

While I understand it's a part of the natural process, I hate when the Wasp kills the Spider.

Oh he didnt kill him...MUWAHAHAA
Me too!!😥😯😖 We can see, that the spider tries kicking the tarantula hawk off, but to no avail...
Death comes later, dies from the inside out, with the eggs inside the spider, wasp horse dog

That kid was too comfortable being in the vicinity of a BIG ASS spider and wasp.
They’re South African and probably very used to giant carnivores.

Been looking for that one for years
Amazing how the tarantula doesnt just pounce on it like any other insect, it just knows who he is dealing with.
its not a tarantula its a huntsman spider
what’s crazy is spiders seem to move so much faster when they’re dealing with humans than when they’re dealing with other animals.
If you had two poison laced knives that you’ve been training with since birth, wouldn’t you be cool and calculated against a wolf that doesn’t fear you, while trying to be as unpredictable and shocking as you could to a giant that you know fears you?

All spiders are venomous-some more medically significant than others
I notice on every video the spider just try to get away like it knows it can't win
IKR they don't even fight and try and kill the wasp,like what the ?I thought spiders would fight to death.

We fear Spiders because of their menacing looks but this video proves that they can also fall a victim to smaller bullying insects like the Wasp.

I actually felt bad for the spider, he was just vibing
Would you feel sorry for the spider if you get bit by one?
I wonder what the ant was feeling at 1:51
Blazerde he was probably yelling " wooooooooooorld staaaaaaaaaaaaaaar"
feeling.... thank god i'm not a spider.
Calling for back up
i think he's shounting. "waaaitttt a minute .. i should call back up it is an instant food!!!"
Probably about to go call his homie so they can eat both the spider and wasp.

Im really scared of spiders and just watching this really makes me skeeved out lol!! Those damn wasps r gangstas lol!
Imagine recording with a camera that actually focus
That would be the equivalent of a human trying to drag a polar bear.

Eddie Myers pretty sure it’s a rain spider - in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa
That's a lizard eating spider, & it couldn't kill a wasp. How better a fight would it have been to see the lizard fight the wasp?...

I think it's a tarantula hawk they lay eggs inside the spider
Sees spider. Sees wasp. Sees them both fighting.
Brings out can of Raid. RIP Spider and Wasp.
What is that for a Big Spider ?
a poor spider😞
1:38 Looked like the spider got the wasp. But wasp recovers and defeats spider like always.
In this case the tarantula hawk wasp is almost always victorious over the spider.

Its a tarantula wasp, it dontkillthe Spiders,just paralays them and leave one egg in their Body, fresh Food for the kid

It’s not a wasp, it’s a tarantula hawk. Deadly sting. A wasp sting won’t do much on a spider of this size.
tarantula hawk is a wasp
tarantula hawk is a solitary digger wasp
