THE TARANTULAS ENEMY.

The Golden Winged Wasp That Never
Fails to XIII the Deadly Insect.
Notwithstanding all the tarantula's
great courage and pugnacity, there is one
enemy the sound OF whose coming throws
it into paroxysms of fear. This enemy Of
which it has such instructive dread is a
large wasp known as the "Tarantula-
killer" 1t has bright blue body nearly
two inches long and wings OF golden
hue. AS it flies here and there IN the
sunlight, glittering like flash of fire, one
moment resting on leaf, the next on q
granite bowlder, it keeps up an incessant
buZzng, which Is caused by the vibra-
ton OF its wings. No sooner does the
tarantula hear this than he trembles with
fear, for we'll he knows the fate in store
for him when once his mortal foe per-
ceives his whereabouts. This it soon
does, and hastens to the attack.
AT first it is content with flying in cir
cles over its intended victim. Gradually
it approaches nearer aud nearer. AT last,
when it is within a few inches, the taran-
tula rises upon its hind legs and attempts
to grapple with its foe. but without sue
cess. Like a fash the giant wasp is on
its back. The deadly fangs have been
avoided. The next instant fearful sting
penetrates deep into the SPIDERS body.
Its struggles almost cease. A sudden
paralysis creepS over 1t aud it StaggerS

side, then to the other. These symptoms.
however, are only of short duration.
While they last, the wasp. but few
inches away, awaits the result; nor does
it have to wait long. A few seconds and
all sign of life has disappeared from the
tarantula; the once powerful legs curl up
beneath its body, and it rolls over dead.
Then takes place one of those strange
incidents which illustrate the perfect
adaptation to circumstances, every WI ere
so remarkable in the economy of the
insect world. The wasp seizes hold of
the now PROSTATE spider and with little
