Out here, daddylonglegs are the spiders, or were you just grouping them in with crane flies?

My least favourite living creature, even more than mosquitoes or people, is the tarantula hawk.

Quote:
The female tarantula hawk wasp stings and paralyzes a tarantula, then drags the prey to a specially prepared brooding nest, where a single egg is laid on the spider's abdomen, and the entrance is covered.[3] Sex of the larvae is determined by fertilization; fertilized eggs produce females, while unfertilized eggs produce males.[3] When the wasp larva hatches, it creates a small hole in the spider's abdomen, then enters and feeds voraciously, avoiding vital organs for as long as possible to keep the spider alive.[3] After several weeks, the larva pupates. Finally, the wasp becomes an adult and emerges from the spider's abdomen to continue the life cycle.
Pretty ****ed. Yes, I have a soft spot for tarantulas, **** off.
