According to the British "Sun" reported on December 19, a netizen from Sydney Brontë shared a photo on reddit and wrote: "When I came home from work, I found that this tarantula wasp wasp was dragging a hunter spider away."

It is understood that the tarantula eagle wasp will paralyze its whole body with a stinger before bringing its prey back to its nest and unable to move. Experts believe that wasps behave as usual because they are the main predators of hunter spiders. Native to Australia, this wasp can pierce the abdomen of spiders and paralyze them. The wasps then lay eggs in the spider, and the young bees hatch and feed on the spider. Experts advise people not to touch wasps because they can be very painful after being stabbed by them, but they only bite when provoked.

The Hunter Spider is a large spider that prefers to live in wooded areas. They usually live in temperate tropical regions, including Oceania, Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean Basin, and the Americas. Hunter spiders are named for their speed, large size, and penchant for hunting prey.

One reddit user replied: "The spider is not dead, it is paralyzed." The wasp buries it after it is injected with eggs. The little wasps eat the spider at their first meal. (Compiled and reported by China Youth Network)
