Our video team did a nice video of a spider capturing and wrapping up a wasp. We raise spiders, wasps, stingless (Meliponia) bees, butterflies, tailless whip scorpions and many other creatures at 1500 meters elevation in Central America.
The spider's string its very strong and in this time the wasp couldnt do anything to scape from the web.
The spider's web helps them to catch different bugs, but also the ability to envolve their victims need to be very accurtate and deadly for them.
These creatures live in our Mayan ethnobotanical research garden, where we study medicinal plants, plants for dye colorants, and other plants used by the Mayan and Xinca people of Guatemala for thousands of years.
