Wasp eating a leaf curling spider!

April 24, 2016 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

Two months ago, I shared photos of what I assumed was a leaf curling spider eating a wasp. Well, turned out the previous critter was a soldier beetle. Oops! Buying more books to hopefully rectify such mistakes 😉

Last week, Sethy and I were walking back from Balyang Sanctuary. We’d spent a couple of hours there looking at frogs. Now I understand how Glenn feels when I bird for too long – after two hours I really wanted to move on.

We were near a set of steps when Seth pointed at me to look. WOW! There was a wasp.

Unlike other situations, the spider wasn’t in control. I was only able to get these two shots before it flew off with the spider. It was so fascinating – I was so thankful to Seth for all his help. That kid knows how to find critters!
