Kentucky Color: Predator and Prey 2026-07-23 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Billy Joe writes, "The predator is a Rusty Spider Wasp. The prey is a large spider. It is most probably a wolf spider but I'm not sure. Of course, the wasp stings the spider but the sting only paralyzes it. Once she gets it to her nest, she lays an egg on it. Once the egg hatches, the little wasp larvae feeds on the spider until it matures and turns into an adult wasp." Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
