Mud Hornet Is More Than.
A Match for the Spider;
Captures Victim by Trick

I once saw, on the porch of my
hornet deliberately fall into and en-
tangle herself in spider web, Hud-
son Maxim writes in the North Amer
lean Review. The spider, perching
upon an outer corner Of the web,- in
stantly sprang at the hornet, then
stopped, and decided that it did not
want to tackle the hornet, and re-
turned to its perch.
After waiting while for the spider
to come to the attack, the hornet
freed herself very easily from the
web; and l watched her fly several
times in circles and then deliberately
alight in another nearby web and en-
tangle herself in. it. Instantly the
alert spider, evidently either more
hungry or less: cautious than the 9TH
er, sprang upon the hornet, when,
with an alacrity that would shame the
lightning, and with a precision devel-
oped beyond the contingency Of error,
that hornet seized the spider, jabbed
her sting into it and: paralyzed 1t.
Then she did it up nicely and carried
it away.
l learned, ,afterward, in the study of
insects, that this is the regular habit
of the mud hornet-that she catches
spiders in this manner, paralyzing
them with her sting. She places them
one after another in mud pocket
that she has constructed for the mr.
pose, until she has enough canned
spiders to feed her young when they
hatch out in the spring. The spiders
do not die, but remain alive in their
prison until attacked by the larvae Of
the hornet and eaten at the proper
time. Rather hard on the spiders
but the habits of the spiders them
selves are not such as to elicit much
sympathy.
