The Battle Has Been Won

This wasp was scurrying up the wall outside my house and I followed along with my camera lens, hoping to get a picture of what appeared to be a spider caught in the clutches of this wasp. This was a spider wasp...a solitary wasp that use a single spider as a host for feeding their larvae. They paralyze the spider with a venomous stinger. Once paralyzed, the spider is dragged to where a nest will be built. A single egg is laid on the abdomen of the spider.
