There are several similes in "The Spider and the Wasp" by Alexander Petrunkevitch, one of which is his comparison of a spider's inability to form a web in a new way to an inexperienced man trying to build a bridge across a cavern. Another simile occurs when he identifies the wasp with "intelligence" and the spider "instinct", labeling their conflict as "intelligence pitted against instinct".

What is the tarantulas prey?

Tarantulas have very few natural enemies other than humans. Its only real natural enemy is an insect known as the spider wasp. One of the types of the spider wasp is the The Tarantula Hawk or Tarantula Killer (Pepsis wasps) giant wasp. The wasp finds the tarantula by using olfactory or the sense of smell. The wasp stings the tarantula, which paralyzes it, then the wasp lays an egg on its abdomen and then buries it in the tarantulas burrow. When the egg hatches the tarantula is used as a living food source by the wasp grub.
