Mud Dauber v s Spider

[@jamesharper7661]

That looks more like a tarantula hawk. The wasp paralyzes the spider, tucks it away in a hole and lays an egg on the spider. When the larvae hatches it has a live, fresh spider to eat.

We had a ton of these in a rock house I grew up in, I’ve seen this many many times growing up. It’s interesting that they seem to eat one particular spider which I believe is a garden orb spider. Thank you for sharing

[@WookOutdoorsTV]

Yeah. They seem to be very picky with their food!

Why is the wasp only walking and not flying @ all ?

[@WookOutdoorsTV]

We're not sure. It was definitely a strange sight.

[@pascals5408]

I guess the spider is too heavy

[@tails324]

“Wook outdoors” and is that a Sitar I hear? Something tells me that you and I are on the same page lol

[@WookOutdoorsTV]

[@RoaringRecip]

If you don't like spiders, mud daubers are your friends.

[@ocaveman938]

That’s no mud dauber it’s a red wasp

[@WookOutdoorsTV]

We asked him and he said he was a mud dauber.lol

[@Ishowdementia]

If it was a red wasp it would be called a paper wasp

[@GummyLover]

How dare you assume their pronouns!

[@WookOutdoorsTV]

Their pronouns are hungry and dinner
