Tarantula Hawk Wasp

How does Nature balance itself?

The Tarantula Hawk Wasp attacks and kills Tarantulas with one of the most painful insect stings on the planet. It then drags the larger arachnid to its brooding location and a single egg is laid on the abdomen of the spider. When the larvae hatches, it digs a small hole in the abdomen and begins its long dinning event avoiding any critical organs to ensure the spider remains alive keeping the food as fresh as possible! EWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NATURE: The PUREST balancing act!
