Kiss of death . . .

While playing around with my new Nikon P520 camera, I came across this: A fairly big spider and a wasp, were fighting each other. At a time it looked like the spider got the wasp packed up. But then, all of a sudden, the wasp curled right around and managed to sting the spider. Seconds later it was all over. The wasp grabbed the almost death spider by its head and it looked like it tried to take it somewhere. Obviously, the spider was too heavy to be flown and the wasp dragged it around for a while (when I took the picture it was going backwards, up a vertical wall). But then the wasp succumbed too. It dumped the spider and tried to fly but it couldn't. A few minutes later it too was dead. What a life . . .
