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

Don't fuck with people's phobias man, its really cruel. It might be only a peach to you, but probably ellicited a genuine and very real fear of death in that chap!
Then again, I once absent mindedly threw a peanut at my friend with a nut allergy so perhaps I shouldn't judge.

There was a case recently of a child that died when a fellow student threw some food at them.

I learned that the hard way at 16 when a girl at school told me she had a fear of orange peel, I'd never heard of such a thing and didn't take it seriously and one day gave her a bit of peel from an orange I'd just finished eating, she had a full screaming panic attack and spent half an hour crying, felt such a cunt

I'm not sure a peanut allergy means you're scared of peanuts. So you're excused. My mate with the peach phobia also loved golf, so the cunt got what he deserved.

My ex used to throw up and pass out if she even saw a photo of a spider. Even somebody saying the word spider was sometimes enough to make her lose consciousness. The risk of her dying as a result of her phobia was real. An extreme example but the main reason why I'm so careful about people's phobias!

A relative is scared of crocodiles/similar. Even a Lacoste shirt makes him uncomfortable.
I used to put our stuffed caiman in the room when he stayed over. Sjwhedge has now made me feel bad about that 🥺

Sorry mate, I do realise that my anti bullying and bigotry opinions make me somewhat of a liberal bore...

Perhaps they should have taken it out of the fridge before throwing it.

Apology accepted.
(Just in case it's not clear it was a tongue-in-cheek call back to your #83009 post I don't think you're an sjw or either really feel that bad about my cousin...especially after your dark as fuck confession that you used to throw peanuts as someone with a peanut allergy ;)
I used to wait tables with a very talented young cricketer. He had a phobia of peaches (the skin, specifically). I used to take full advantage of his instinctive catching reactions by throwing peaches at him across the big dining room and shouting his name. He'd catch them and instantly throw them at the wall while screeching. Hours of fun.
