Spider-hunting Wasps (Pompilidae) dragging spiders to their nests

Spider-hunting Wasps specialise in stinging and paralyzing spiders and then dragging them to their nests where the female will lay on egg on each spider before sealing the nest. When the larva hatches, it consumes the spider, starting with the non-vital organs first so as to keep the spider alive for as long as possible. Once it has finished eating the spider, it will pupate and then eventually fly off. As you will see from this video, these wasps are very determined to get the spiders to their nests. .
