I take it you missed the part where it says “Tesco”.
Spider wasps are even worse than spiders. You’d think otherwise because oh they prey on spiders so they’re cool. No. They’re not. Just read these tidbits from their no doubt scientifically-endorsed page on Wikipedia and tell me that spiders, no matter their reputation, deserve this:
They protect their nest by putting dead ants into the outermost chamber, the chemicals within deterring predators.
Actually for some of us this might be classified as “metal”, but I digress. Moving on.
Some pompilids only temporarily paralyze their hosts, which regain activity before being killed by the maturing wasp larva.
Spider wasps of the genus Pepsis, also known as tarantula hawks, have a sting rating of 4. The sting is described as “blinding, fierce, and shockingly electric. A running hair dryer has been dropped into your bubble bath.” Only the sting of the Bullet Ant, Paraponera clavata, is ranked higher, with a 4+ rating.
Spider wasps are the living incarnation of evil. A clear sign that any God that could exist has forsaken us. Scoff if you want, but how long until they evolve beyond the need of spiders, and move up the food chain–to humans?
Spider Man…YOU ARE THE FATHER!!!
