Pompilus cinereus

Leaden spider wasp (Grijze spinnendoder in Dutch) with her prey. After this female spider wasp catches her prey, she paralyses it, and bites off the legs of the spider. The spider is buried and the spider wasp lays one egg nearby. The spider serves as food for the spider wasp larva.
