Tarantula Hawk and the Tarantula

A tarantula hawk and it’s prey.

I came upon this Tarantula Hawk dragging it’s paralyzed prey (the tarantula) down into a burrow where it’s egg will hatch on the living paralyzed tarantula and the larvae will proceed to feed upon the tarantula until they are mature enough to leave the burrow.
