While looking out of my window this afternoon, I noticed a paralysed Wolf Spider being dragged across the lawn by a wasp. I knew that the wasp would look for a place to bury the spider, so I followed it. As expected, the wasp dug a small tunnel, inserted the spider, and then buried it alive.
Towards the end of the video, as the wasp fills the hole, it rapidly beats its abdomen against the gravel and some small rocks. I'm not exactly sure what this behaviour is. Perhaps egg-laying?
