[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 132556, member: 27444"] The wasp doesn't always win....I've seen more wasps killed and by Tarantulas then the other way around. The tarantulas seemed fine after taking the wasps down...dont know about know about long term though. Im sure the tarantulas venom breaks down other toxins...im not sure though. Ive seen Ts take the wasps back down into their burrows through. Just to clear up a little wikapedia nonsense...the wasp doest take the T back to its nest. The wasp finds the Ts burrow and acts like its stuck in its webbing in front of the burrow. After the battle if the wasp wins it drags The T into the tarantulas burrow. If the wasp catchs a wondering male...it drags it into the brush or something out of the view of birds and other scavengers to lay the single egg. I spent every summer as a kid in New mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Wyoming. Hunted for spiders/scorpions/snakes and lizards everyday. I sure miss it but I don't miss the dry heat though. [/QUOTE]
