Ahh yes, I've seen many of those myself. The Spider-Hunting Wasp won, right? They almost always do.
You really don't want to know what will happen to the spider now. Trust me on this... *G*

Ah, nature. Nice and violent. *eg*

Oh... The spider was in a web? Then it may have been a regular paper-wasp, not a Spider-Hunter... Spider Hunters usually go for ground-dwelling spiders and are usually very big and either all black or black and orange, instead of the yellow and black of paper wasps...

I many not have the world's best housekeeping skills
but, I do not have ground spiders living in my
kitchen. ;P
instead of the yellow and black of paper wasps...
They sound like yellowjackets. No this was bigger, and there was no yellow and black. Just brown. Maybe it was a hornet?
*shrug* I guess around here we tend to call everything not a bee, a wasp. Except for the Japanese Hornets which we refer to as 'Dear God, Call An Ambulance'. *g*

-Yes you do...you just can't see them.... There are *many* more arthropods living in our houses than we realise!
They sound like yellowjackets.
-Yes, we call them Paper Wasps over here. The Social Wasps that build a communal hive...
No this was bigger, and there was no yellow and black. Just brown. Maybe it was a hornet?
-Sounds more like a dumbass, inexperienced Solitary Spider Hunter. Usually only the *really* experienced ones go for web-builders....
*shrug* I guess around here we tend to call everything not a bee, a wasp.
-Arrrgh, it's "bug" all over again!!
Except for the Japanese Hornets which we refer to as 'Dear God, Call An Ambulance'. *g*
-Hee!
