Tarantula Hawk vs Tarantula 

I thought I was the only one thinking that lol.

Was about to comment. Casually walking past with its leaf not giving any f..s

Lmfao

😂😂😂😂 love the ant just moving his load. Effemall. Moaning about strangers don't pay the rent

Lol they know better than to mess with the ant. He's got backup.

hehe, not much of a difference to the todays working class. I definitely can find myself in your comment

@@Hirschi74 Yes, your life is just as painful and difficult as any tarantula especially today with mandated 40 hour work weeks and 2 day weekends. How horrible life is for industrial society humans.

@@songcramp66 yes exactly trapped with no way out😍

I much rather have a quick death 😩

@@Hirschi74 and yet here you are crying about it through a screen as you sit comfortable in your air conditioned dwelling and clothes on your back

All my homies hate wasps.

Even other wasps.

And wasps agree to all other animals

tell me about it

🤣

Actually, you can see him early in the video walking towards the shrub so that was a continuation of his march on, just minding his business doing his work.

@@artistnyc123 kinda reminds me of humanity.

shes just takin her time so she gets it back to mama

apparently, tarantulas aren't well suited to bitting from underneath while they bite, its more of in front or backing up to sting them but they wouldn't do so well directly above them due to the way their fangs are positioned crazy as it sounds.

@@captainrorz718 Apparently, tarantulas are also retarded and deserve to die a slow parasitized death, too.

Why don’t the spider grab the wasp and try to bite back he just let the wasp sting him thats crazy

Exposing your belly is more of a downside for us large mammals who don't have any hard carapace or ribcage protecting all of our vital organs hidden behind that thin layer of soft belly tissue. Not so much for insects. This arachnid though seems to have some form of very small weak spot hidden in between its segments.

ever seen a BJJ practitioner?

I don't understand that either. When it first crawled under him i was like bro, just fucking bite his head. You can do this.

I haven't either but I'm all for them 🇺🇸

They've heard the stories and freeze up

I think its the hormones the TH wasp emits. I think it relaxes the tarantula

It doesn’t know it’s in a do-or-die situation. Animals don’t have all the information we have, and very few animals actually want to go all-out attack mode if they don’t feel they have to since it puts them at greater risk.

I seen that ant caring food or something to.

Yeah, except when I saw an invasive ant species dragging a baby kangaroo rat to surely be eaten alive for days. I rescued her and named her Baby. She was the sweetest creature and loved being in my hand more than anything. Such a clingy, cuddly baby. I made a fast smacking of my lips sound to get her to be more excited to eat and she made the same sound back and always drank a little more milk. She had a short "ehh" sound for "no" usually when I offered more milk than she wanted or put her in her bed when she wanted to be in my hand. And softer, higher pitched squeak for "yes!", usually when I offered her my hand to sleep in. So cute and sweet. So simple but the best experience life has offered me thus far. Sadly she got sick and didn't make it. Died unexpectedly in her sleep when she was about 6 weeks old. but 6 weeks of captivity surely is better than slowly being eaten alive by massive ants for 2 days.

@alphabet lore letter F VR same reason why this video is a whole documentary instead of a 30 second battle. nature is interesting

@alphabet lore letter F VR your attention span must be low

@Giga chad life must be hard calling yourself a chad but playing roblox at the same time 💀

Why didn't she intervene herself? If she is the tarantula lover

​@@Simon-beastbecause she is full of shit.

What did you do to the Hawk?

@@JoseBYOB - so the story about the first one is pretty crazy. Without killing the wasp, I picked up the paralyzed tarantula and brought inside. Started reading online and got up to speed real quick on what just happened. I then had the idea to see if we could bring it back to life so had it sitting in container in our living room. This next part is 100% not made up: 4 hours later, my wife is letting the dogs outside through the back door for about 5 seconds and that thing darts inside the house. Mayhem ensued….. it took it about 10 seconds to find the tarantula. I killed it with a shoe eventually. That was maybe the craziest part. It must have have some type of scent or something after getting stung. So I kill these things every chance I get. I don’t believe in killing animals, just because, but I make an excuse for these wasps.

Bro, those wasps for sure are crucial to the environment, think about it, mother nature has a purpose for every creature and certainly they control the population of tarantulas. If tarantulas don't get eaten by these predators then other little animals will struggle to survive as there will be too many tarantulas. Just my opinion, thank you for sharing your experience!

Yeah those are the stuff of nightmares, cool as hell but scary little aliens they are.

bro i would die

Cazadors! This is not a correction, this is a cry of terror!

Tarantula hawks are lame

They grow to be the size of a freakin' index finger. They look so COOL, though.

Nothing cruel or sad about nature. Human beings can be just as cruel in survival situations. You take away all the comfy cushy privileges we enjoy everyday like going to the grocery store for food or having a nice safe shelter to live in and human beings can be way more cruel than these bugs. Nature is very real and very fair. Only the strong survive.

The sting is extremely painful to humans. Imagine how painful it might be to the tarantula. 😬😨

@@VIBERELIGIONTV I don't think they have the same kind of pain receptors we have bud.

Niinpä. Tarantula näyttää olevan hypnoosissa.

@Ev0_X_ 14 I worked in a slaughterhouse. If you want to see what we are capable of then take a vist to one. We even slaughtered in calf (pregnant) dairy cows.

Doesnt the tarantula hawk give a dance or release pheromones to fool the tarantula or am i just tripping? edit: he said it maybe its a correlation or a direct cause effect

They used to take down Bird spiders but sometimes we're injured because of there large size but now only take down smaller tarantulas...I love watching it!

Yup. The Tarantula Hawks scare me way way more than any spider ever would. I am glad I live on the East Coast. However, to this day, I swear that I saw one when I was a kid.

It is as you say, you can be afraid of the spider, then, feel sorry and want to help

@@imthebestmayne122 Tarantula Hawks are scary creatures yet if you don't bother them they are as peaceful as a lap dog. Beware of those smaller wasps that form colonies, those are really dangerous and short tempered and because of their sheer numbers can kill you anytime.

It probably is a daily occurrence and it learns to get used to it.

Just so you know, a velvet ant is a wasp, not an ant. They are solitary parisite wasps. They don't belong to colonies.

This one makes the most sense

i’m not sure what they can do against such a hard-shelled wasp regardless, and especially one that moves so quickly and can fly.. and we all saw that when the tarantula tried running, the wasp was immediately on its tail

The hawk can immobilise it with 1 sting and the turantula cannot kill it fast enough to get it before it stings, it has no sharp armour piercing teeth and it’s method of killing is slow

Perhaps it should bite the wasps head, if the poison paralysis takes effect the wasp might be too injured to take advantage

are you his brother?? as never heard the surname before

Aye, especially the "dancing around to please the other". 😆

WIFE BAD

what did u expect, wining and dining followed by passionate love making in the penthouse sweet of the Waldorf Astoria?

@@dashingeduardosuarezAre you telling me that isn’t exactly what happened in the video?

@@conscripthornet4430 Getting knocked-up Helen Ripley style....was not part of the deal.

@@dashingeduardosuarezthat’s… oddly specific

ikr. these fuckers hurt so bad. I was under some bleachers at a school with a friend, and suddenly a wasp/yellow jacket/hornet/ whatever tf it was stung me like in my earlobe. So painful. 3rd or 4th grade me was trying so hard not to cry. A cow killer sounds even more painful than whatever stung me.

@@arjun-ys5xp Jesus one time when I got stung by a yellow jacket (this was like 20 years ago) I didn’t know what stung me and those mother fuckers hurt!😂😂😂

Bruh, a few years ago I saw 3 velvet ants when I was walking along with my family and right then and there I knew not to touch it. What the hell were you thinking?😑But thanks for letting me know that they squeak. That’s always so charming to hear.😂🤣

​@@arthurleggywulfto be fair, it is thought that arachnids don't "feel" (interpret) pain the same way us humans do. However, they do have a complex nervous system, so we don't really know how painful this situation is for them.

It's wild

@@thomaseriksen6885 lmao

* brutal and disgusting

Literally just sticking two bugs in a small box

@@kakakrabbypatty1234 And making them kill each other for the entertainment of kids on RU-vid to make a quick buck. It’s called humanity…

Informative:yes, interesting: yes, humane: no. This video taught me just how unhumane the animal world is.

@@braxduncan8995 huh? how is this inhumane? this was totally natural… do you know what humane means?

@@peterkilian9100 the hawk paralyzed the spider and made sure not to kill it so it could plant babies in it so they could eat around the main organs as to keep the spider alive for as long as possible. The animal kingdom does not prioritize a quick kill

You have tarantulas in Spain? I've never heard of them being linked to that part of the world, I know you guys have the tarantula wolf spider. - Which is where the name tarantula came from.
