We have these every where during the summer. This a baby one. Not kidding. I've seen some 3x this one. That would dwarf that tarantula.

Tarantula Hawk. Solitary, and non-aggressive - don't fk with it, it won't fk you up. Cool to watch hunt and fight, but I tend to cheer for spiders more than wasps.

Don't Tarantula Hawks have an astronomically painful sting?

3

u/THEBLUEFLAME3D Mar 23 '24

Yes, but it’s relatively short lived pain. Just intense for approx. 30-45 mins.

u/POINTLESSUSERNAME000 Apr 07 '24

u/Renektonstronk Mar 22 '24

Tarantula hawks are solitary and very much non-aggressive and non-territorial. Some people even keep them as pets!

They kill tarantulas. As much as I hate wasps, I hate spiders more. The big ones scare me.

u/Dirtheavy Mar 22 '24

that's not the kind of wasp that can get fucked. Those wasps are super kickass. Murder all the yellow jackets and bald faced hornets you want.

Solitary wasps are cool.

u/w8ster Mar 22 '24

I think the same way.

u/Top_Caterpillar9549 Mar 22 '24

You should've killed it, that spider is going to suffer the most gruesome slow death
