“Wasp Attack”
Taken by Roberto García-Roa of Spain, this image shows the aftermath of a fierce conflict between a pompilid wasp and the ornate Ctenus spider in the Peruvian jungle of Tambopata. These wasps are also known as spider wasps, and, as the name implies, they actively hunt spiders. The wasp above appears to be making sure that its stinger has paralyzed its prey before it will drag the body back to a nest for dinner.
