Description
Yes, they actually do hunt and kill tarantulas but not how you might think. The Tarantula Hawk seeks out and finds tarantulas then wrestles the giant spider, flips it on its back and stings it. The sting paralyzes the spider allowing the Tarantula Hawk to drag the spider to its burrow underground where it lays an egg in the paralyzed and still living tarantula. The egg hatches and the baby Tarantula Hawk feeds on the living and still paralyzed tarantula's body. Sounds like a science fiction movie. Nasty.
