Wasps are bros as much as spiders are.

Just not bros to spiders. What parasitoid wasps do to spiders/other victims is nearly as nightmarish as what spiders do to their prey. Definitely a match made in hell.

This species of wasp lays eggs in another species of wasp that lays eggs in a couple species of butterfly that lay eggs on various plants, effectively making them a parasite of a parasite of a parasite =)

Yeah, the turantula hawk is next level vicious.

Also one of the few that really suck to be stung by.
