I saw this huge (3-4cm long) ground dwelling wasp drag an Egyptian tree locust (Anacridium aeyptium) into its nest. Abu Dhabi, UAE (Khalifa city). Help identifying it is welcome. I suspect it might be a type of spider wasp (ferreola ?), as it definitely paralysed the locust before dragging it into its nest.
