re: #112 Blind Frog Belly White

“They are one of the largest parasitoid wasps, using their sting to paralyze their prey before dragging it to a brood nest as living food; a single egg is laid on the prey, hatching to a larva which eats the still-living prey.”

I feel bad for the spider, but the wasp is a Mom, just trying to feed her baby a still-living, but paralyzed enormous fucking spider.

Hard to say.

The US has an equivalent in the SW deserts—the Tarantula Hawk. It was featured in one of the “real-life” Disney films in the ’50s.
