Tarantula and Tarantula Hawks

I was browsing youtube and came across a tarantula- a very poisonous spider - being attacked! Who would have thought they can still be attacked?lol..

They are attacked by tarantula hawks and the most creepy thing is that after the tarantula is paralyzed, the tarantula hawk drags it to a hole then inserts its EGGS on the tarantula! Only female tarantula hawks do it of course.

The tarantula is not yet dead,they are still alive but paralyzed and when it wakes up, it feels very weak because of the eggs inside it.When the eggs hatches, it will eat the tarantula's flesh from within! EEEEEEEEKKKKK!















But there's still chance for the tarantula to live if and only if the eggs fail to hatch. It's pretty amazing right? You can check out this youtube video I found. Credit to smetlogik and creekercouncil
