An orange spider wasp was dragging its zombiefied huntsman spider victim towards its lair. It's big and it's a striking orange and black colour. It paralyses its victim, and then entombs it after laying an egg on it. The hatched pupa goes on to feed on the spider s it grows up.
I was intrigued to find this story about this very activity in the London Sun, no less. If you want a good scary Australian spider story, or snake story, or maybe a surfing duck or two, check out the UK media! It's often all they want from Australia: London Sun article
