    OMG, can’t believe Katy got this video! We see tarantula hawks here every year, but have never seen one actually getting a tarantula. It’s all so gruesome!

    Does the tarantula try to resist the tarantula hawk?

    Robbin got stung by one on the backside of a peach. Painful. Enough to paralyze a tarantula until the eggs are laid.
