THIS WASP HATES SPIDERS.
Ho Kills and Burie Them and Lays an
Egg In Each Gravo.
Just to show that he's sanitary, also
that he's looking out for the future
generation, the South African wasp
always buries his prey after be kill
It. He stabs a spider with bis poison
ous dart dips a bole In the sand and
buries the dead spider with an egg.
When the egg batches the young
wasp has a dead spider to nibble at
until he gets big enough to bunt food
for btmself. Thus the wasp looks out
for bis children before they're hatched.
He's a member of the family which
dentists have named the pompllus.
Spiders are his favorite victims. He
will pursue the spiders which live on
the ground and paralyze them with
his poisonous sting. Even the spiders
wbkb build webs are Dot safe from
bis attack. He will fight bis way
through tbe web until he reaches the
center, where he will grab tbe spider
and hurry away to bury it
The pomp'lus is so dreaded and fear
ed that tbe spider has learned to dis
tinguish blm by the bum of bis wings.
If it's a fly buzzing around the spider
waits In bis web until be bas caught
his prey. But If be bears tbe bum of
tbe wasp's wings the spider will drop
from his web and scoot away to any
hiding place be can find. Philadelphia
