The Tarantula Hawk Wasp is a spider wasp that hunts tarantulas. They are parasitoid wasps, using their sting to paralyze their prey before dragging it to a brood nest as living food; a single egg is laid on the prey, hatching to a larva which eats the still-living prey. Their stings are considered to be one of the most painful insect stings in the world
They reach 4 - 5 centimetres (1.5 - 1.9 in).
