spider wasp - Anoplius americanus

spider wasp - Anoplius americanus
Afton Canyon, Mojave Desert, San Bernardino County, California, USA
September 15, 2005
Very blurry, but this wasp moved fast and it was hard to focus or keep the camera still. Here the wasp is holding the spider by its front legs and dragging it backwards towards its hole.
