Yep that's why tarantula hawk wasps give me fucking nightmares.
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 have to say, an insect evolving to rely on a spider doesn't seem like the brightest idea. guess it's karma
