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!"

Wasp: I see spider

Kid: their playinggg.

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

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

Imagine being the tiny ant at

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: I am the spider

"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
