This is not a video of cute and cuddly critters. It is a video documentation of the life and death struggle between a wasp and a spider - a Tarantula Hawk versus a Tarantula.
Dramatic and emotional to watch, this footage has made a contribution to the scientific knowledge of the behavior of both species.
Read what one professional biologist has said about this video:
“What a fantastic video! It is the best I have ever seen because it really highlights the unusual attack behavior of the wasp”. Justin Schmidt (Author of The Sting of the Wild)
