I live in Taiwan and saw something similar. There was a huge huntsman (similar to the Australian one) on my driveway, which had been stung by a wasp/hornet that specifically attacks arachnids. There was an ant's nest near by (2-3 feet away) and a few of them came out to see what was going on. I could see the thought process of "Now lads, if we play this right, we might get both of them...just be cool!" They were right! both the wasp and spider took some damage, slowed down and the ants just swarmed them both. Really quite impressive!

Kid: their playinggg. Man: the game of deathhh 😂

Wasp: I see spider Spider: why do I hear boss music

People who are still unclear about the wasp, I am pretty sure that is a Tarantula Hawk and yes they are specificly prey tarantulas.

1:20 Boy: “They’re playing!” Dad: “In a way... *whispers* the game of death”

one of those rare instances when you actually feel bad for the spider

Imagine being the tiny ant at 1:17 and watch those two giants fight

While I understand it's a part of the natural process, I hate when the Wasp kills the Spider.

If you notice on these match ups, the spider ALWAYS sits on it's ass and lets the wasp or tarantula hawk make the first move. This always results in the spider losing. I would love to see this kind of match up with a Sydney Funnelweb, because now you have an aggressive, mean as hell spider that will strike first and not be docile.

That kid was too comfortable being in the vicinity of a BIG ASS spider and wasp.

what’s crazy is spiders seem to move so much faster when they’re dealing with humans than when they’re dealing with other animals.

We fear Spiders because of their menacing looks but this video proves that they can also fall a victim to smaller bullying insects like the Wasp.

Amazing how the tarantula doesnt just pounce on it like any other insect, it just knows who he is dealing with.

For those wondering about the ID of the wasp and the spider, I’m pretty sure this is Southern Africa, considering the accents, the surname ‘Redelinghuys’, and the use of Afrikaans. We have a family of spider hunting wasps, Pompilidae, of which this would be a typical example. Most likely of the Tachypompilus genus, considering wing and leg colouring and the ID of the spider. The spider looks to be a rain/huntsman spider (Palystes), having long hairy legs with banding on the underside, a fat body and a particular way of moving. They’re commonly called rain spiders for their behaviour of sheltering inside when storms come and are venomous, though their venom is no more dangerous than a bee sting would be to the average human.

lmao when the spider climbed the yellow thing i thought of king kong and the wasp is a plane

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: I am the spider Bruce Lee: and I am the wasp

Nice teachable moment for your kid.. now when the kid is 10 years old, they're gonna have their room filled with insects, ant farms , snakes, scorpion's and everything else he learned as a child.. lol

I notice on every video the spider just try to get away like it knows it can't win

"They're playing" "Yes, in a way... The game of death" 😂😂 the kid probably didn't understand that

I actually felt bad for the spider, he was just vibing

*Me sees a giant spider vs wasp* Me: Interesting.....Keep going. *sees spider struggles and lose* Me: Aight, that's enough. Your living privileges has expired wasp. Boot and spray time.

The kid talking in the background is so cute.

I love how he said "Spider Immobilized" 2:01

"The Game of Death."

Ant:*watches battle* Spider:hiyaaaaaaaaaa!!! Ant:..... Wasp:Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

For those who don't know that's a tarantula hawk its the only wasp that attacks tarantulas so the wasp stings the spider and the spider is paralyzed

If this was an MMA fight you'd have to say the wasp was very comfortable on it's back.

Today's toddler lesson: unfair advantage leads to failed effort, painful suffering and horrible death. Nature teaching about the real world.

A documentary was described the difficulty a spider has in landing a winning blow on the wasp. "It's like a human holding a glass bottle in one hand, then trying to drill through it using the other hand". (paraphrasing) So even if the spider manages to get the wasp in its fangs, the wasp still has a brilliant chance of escaping death.

I wonder what the ant was feeling at 1:51

That wasp reminds me of Manny Pacquiao in his prime being fast and all over the place while picking apart bigger opponents.

That would be the equivalent of a human trying to drag a polar bear.

Imagine recording with a camera that actually focus

Me after they fight: Squish

Seems like dying spider takes wasp in Hell together with himself. This is a Death hand.

Tarantula: Look how they massacred my boy.

1:38 imagine if the spider did that a while ago

This appears to be a tarantula hawk attempting to paralyze the spider, so that it can lay it's eggs on its back or abdomen. Cool video. Thanks for sharing!

I love the education going on right now for the kid. What a good Dad! ^^

Thank the Lord we don't have wasps as big as us that stab us to death and eat us

This isn't a fight. It's a evolutionary process...

That's a lizard eating spider, & it couldn't kill a wasp. How better a fight would it have been to see the lizard fight the wasp?...

Holy shit! He's dancing around him like Muhammad Ali!

Tarantula hawk laying its eggs in the spider. ghoulish

1:42-1:54 Spider says, "If I die you're gon die with me!"

I think it's a tarantula hawk they lay eggs inside the spider

Im really scared of spiders and just watching this really makes me skeeved out lol!! Those damn wasps r gangstas lol!

Best vid ever,little girl is precious as Dad teachers her about the spider & spider wasp. She also reminds Dad that they shall return to the beach,Not Home!! 😂lol Bahahahaha

No focus No ending. Well done !

It’s not a wasp, it’s a tarantula hawk. Deadly sting. A wasp sting won’t do much on a spider of this size.

Its a tarantula wasp, it dontkillthe Spiders,just paralays them and leave one egg in their Body, fresh Food for the kid

Epic battle !!!

If this was a brazzillian wondering spider, the outcome would be much different than it seems...

I think web casting spiders most likely would win . Webs are the game changers in this epic battle

These kind of wasps isn't want to kill the spider. It wants to lay eggs in the spider.

1:38 Looked like the spider got the wasp. But wasp recovers and defeats spider like always.

This kinda scares me...yet I still watched the whole thing 😐

even the most deadly spider on the planet is no match for the tarantula hawk

Pretty sweet little judo flip from the spider in the beginning

That spider had no chance what so ever.

Wasp doing some goofy cartoon character run trying to drag the spider

Everytime just domination, “float like a butterfly sting like a tarantula hawk wasp”

I make sure to miss this type of wasps plans every time I see them and they are big

Nice video mate!

Sees spider. Sees wasp. Sees them both fighting. Brings out can of Raid. RIP Spider and Wasp.

That spider grabbing the wasp was the worst thing it could have done

The spider is helpful, put every one of those wasps under a boot!

Meanwhile that little ant who is watching is now going to go back and tell all his homies so that they can swarm the spider and wasp to later eat them as food.

that tiny ant is literally following them to watch the fight lol

I bet that spider was wishing he had wings lol

That wasp is harmless to humans. Just hunts spiders. Some even collect the spiders and put them in a sealed mud nest with an egg, so the baby wasp can eat as it matures.

1:45 the spider is like Jonathan joestar holding dio's head but he eventually dies

. . . Never seen a spider like that one. Nice to know what kind it was.

Bad ass

0:16 - "BUG OFF!!!"

Itsy bitsy spider climb up the water sprout. Down came the wasp and wipe the spider out.

Spider: dying a horrible painful death Kid: tHeRE PlaYInG!! :D

What kind of spider is that? Are you folks from Australia? Thanks for sharing.

And the wasp larvae eat the spider from inside out, with instincts provided by Mother Nature to miss the vital organs until last, keeping their meal alive and warm. A great life lesson for young Timmy.

That's a beautiful spider

This is no ordinary spider, this is a Brazilian Wandering Spider. Awesome work by the wasp.

finnaly i got it how thz battle goes thx mate i am going on the garden to see it

It's like a horror movie 😨 it's common for those giant spiders just to walk around the area?😱

That's a pretty big spider. Creepy LOL

Wow, that's a big spider

2:36 that why Kids should rule the world.

Ha the spider was too heavy... wrong spider.

wow that is badass 0_0

Spider put up a good fight but not good enough. Poor Spider !!

So he's rooting for the wasp to kill the spider when the spider is beneficial to nature and wasp isn't? Make sense...

I have seen these wasps whilst visiting South Africa. They are large compared to the European wasp and a big slow moving spider like this would have little chance. These wasps are like the attack helicopters of the insect world. Still, a good blart over its noggin with a rolled up newspaper would sort the wee bastard out.

I’m just wondering why this dude so close like they won’t double team him at anytime🤨

Where are the wasps friends? That's why bees are so good at fighting the swarm

I kept rubbing the back of my neck in a paranoia while watching this.

That aint no wasp...thats a badass tarantula hawk

You never see a wasp do this to jumping spiders

Я спас одного такого паука (правда гораздо меньшего по размерам, больших у нас слава богу не водится), оса уже ужалила его, он перестал двигаться. Я отогнал осу, несколько раз, т.к. она была настойчива, потом она улетела. Думаю со временем паук очнулся и удрал..

The hunter becomes the hunted, being a predator doesn't make you immune to predation by other predators.

WASP WINS! FATALITY!

The spider could bite it as it goes straight but it hasn't figured out yet. 😅😅
