'Tarantula hawk wasp' is the common name for 'Pepsis formosa'. Adult females and males dine on flower nectar and pollen. But the larvae that hatch from the 20 some eggs of the mother like to eat ... fresh tarantula!
The mother-to-be digs about 20 burrows. Then she stings the requisite number of tarantulas in the head. Her sting is painful to humans and paralyzing to Spiders. She then drags underground each hapless, helpless tarantula, one by one. She lays an egg on each of the spiders. Once hatched, the larvae have about a month's worth of living, paralyzed tarantula to feast on.
