The red-tailed spider wasp is a species of spider wasp found in most of tropical and subtropical Asia, north to Japan. These spider wasps often hunt huntsman spiders. (Wikipedia)
Do not get bitten by this wasp. WesternExterminator.com describes the sting of a Spider Wasp as the second worst sting ever known. As they put it: "Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair dryer has been dropped into your bubble bath. A bolt out of the heavens. Lie down and scream". Only the Bullet Ant is worse.
I watched this spider wasp from a safe distance as it dragged its prey (probably a huntsman spider) backyard across the clearing. It's a pretty fearsome looking creature, almost 2 cm long!

This tea plantation was just outside the entrance to of the Kaziranga National Park. Most other plantations that we had seen had no trees so this one was a little different. We discovered that the trees supported pepper vines. Thus, the tea bushes received some shade while the land supported two separate cash crops.
