The horrifying moment a spider hunting wasp lay its eggs inside a paralysed spider has been shared by a woman who likened it to "sci-fi".
A poisoning its prey, the sinister creature drag s it into a burrow or hole where its eggs can mature and hatch safely.
Tarry Bell, 32, spotted the deadly attack in his kitchen in Northern Kwa-Zulu Natal province, South Africa.
The shocked non-profit director said: "At first I could not believe what I was seeing as I naturally assumed that the spider had caught a wasp, then I realised it was the other way around.
"We see many weird and wonderful things here in Zululand but I must admit that this was quite an unexpected sight - especially in our kitchen in broad daylight.
