Black Widow vs. Carpenter Bee!

A fascinating battle I came across while out herping recently!

Good job capturing this moment! Even though that bee is long dead it will forever buzz on the internet and live on in our hearts ❤️

I’ve had multiple close encounters with Black Widows, they’re very beautiful, but make me drop the object I lift.

Carpenter bees are no joke I got stung by three as a kid and turned into Forrest Gump I ran so fast. Ran straight out of my shoes

Second!!! I love your videos and you have created a love for snakes in me! Thank you so much!!!!

[JNReditz]

That bee is beautiful. Almost like it has a battle coat

[MSJONESBLOUNT]

That black widow spider did a good job getting that bee that's what the bee deserves and its that metal because it looks rusty

The bee might be big but still no match for this highly venomous spider.

The spider: ima turn u to spider bee ;)
The bee: NO

The Webs of Black Widow Spiders Are Incredibly StrongOn a per-weight basis, for example,  it can be five times stronger than steel. Black widows' web silk particularly is known for its strength, so much so that researchers are striving to replicate its powers in synthetic materials.

In Australia we call black widow’s the “red-back” scientist say they are more deadly than a widow😬😬😬

[skinebman]

Never seen a wasp that looks exactly like a carpenter bee. You just found a brand new species.
