Hairy Spider vs. Wasp | World's Deadliest

Eight legs and sticky webs might seem like an advantage in this fight. But will it be enough to keep this spider from becoming a meal for the wasp's ravenous young?

About World's Deadliest:
World’s Deadliest Predators is a new series that looks at most riveting moments of animal predation, breaking down the struggle for survival and supremacy into five action-packed episodes. Top Hunters focuses on the most feared animals in their class: animals at the top of their food chain; the hunters who are prey to no other animal. Killer Packs illustrates when predators multiply their advantage over prey by banding with others of their species to hunt. Lethal Weapons shows that the physical attributes and built-in concealed weapons have the ability to make an animal a top predator. Our Superpowers episode focuses on the animals that see, hear, and smell better than any others…and that relative to their size on are the fastest and strongest creatures on the planet. And whether it is over food, territory or sex, animals go to war within their species and against other species…Battles dissects these conflicts, from the strategy to the play-by-play. These five episodes bring together dozens of species, which are extraordinary, savage, and the World’s Deadliest Predators.

0:27, that is a pair of spinnerets, not fangs.

You are literally looking at the ass of a spider, and calling that its face.

"The wasp will put the spider in a permanent coma with a sting, lay ONE egg inside the spider, and the larva will eat the spider alive." That's the most metal thing I've ever heard.

[xtreecutterx]

"These spiders aren't small, they can grow to the size of small birds"

I know that's huge for a spider but the wording was hilarious XD

[josesuarez]

Sharp fangs? Umm, I think the narrator has the spider's anatomy confused. That was its ass. :/

[Sarulicious]

Dang I thought the spider was gonna at least put up a fight xD

[RitsychServare]

As you can see, the spider faced the worse in this situation: he was slowly being eaten alive instead of being killed.

[yeapeeplz]

How the hell did they get footage of this.

[raywood]

"Pair of sharp fangs"
*zooms in to the

[AzureRoxe]

Idk what's worse, the fact that a Wasp uses the STILL LIVING Spider as a host for her eggs or the close-up of the freaking Wasp cleaning up like she was cleaning up butcher knives.

[-chrislopezskate-]

It's called a Tarantula Hawk. We have them here. I've been stung by them a few times. They're not deadly but they hurt so much worse than a bee sting or a regular wasp.

[cesarvides]

I remember when I was working in California hills putting up barbed wire fences I literally saw this hornet pulls a tarantula out of its burrow. Probably the coolest thing I’ve seen

[budnick]

How the hell did they get a camera in the spiders hole.

[reggieodrick]

spider: what are you doing in my house
spider: get out!
wasp: no!

[stargazersdance]

I hate wasps more than I hate spiders.
Poor spider

[RichieTalks]

"Then the wasp lays an egg inside the spider's abdomen." that's metal af

When your bae hears that you ordered pizza: 1:28

[Crabber]

Was that a spider or a fucking lemming? That thing died faster than the black guy in a horror movie

[Darkbdlz]

at 1:18 at least buy him dinner first lol

[coreymillion]

The sting of these wasps are among the most painful in the insect world, rumored to shut down the body's ability to do anything except scream.

[Reserved]

Ummm i didn't know the spinnerets were the spiders fangs lol
