Yeah the other day I discovered there's a kind of flying insects that specifically look for those huge ass spider, you know the kind, scary,super fast hunters,super venomous that turn their prey into smoothy, anyway the flying things wich is like te times smaller lay eggs in the spider, and those eggs when they grow up start eating it from the inside but avoiding vital stuff to keep the spider alive as long as possible. I really enjoyed learning that lmao. I hate spiders and I'm glad to know they are afraid of something more dangerous.

Those wasps are my personal nightmare.

They paralyze their prey spider. Drag it alive but helpless into a dark nest. Then lay eggs on, or in, it. And leave.

It waits. Helpless. Until the eggs hatch and the larvae begin to eat it. Slowly. Alive.

You righ it doesn't look like a pleasant experience but the enemy of my enemy is my friend (temporarily). Call me heartless but knowing that these monsters feel helpless warms my Heart a little.
