Wasp with Spider Prey

Found at La Selva Biological Station, near Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí. Heredia Province, Costa Rica.

 

I think the wasp is Pompilidae (possibly Poecilopompilus?) and the spider is a Verrucosa. ID help appreciated.

 

Found at the Arboleda (Holdridge Arboretum). Managed to get a few shots in frame as the wasp tried to carry the spider off.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
