Wow those wasps look quite similar to the tarantula hawk wasps we have over here. I've seen them going into tarantula dens. We even tried saving a tarantula that was hanging around for years after a wasp sting. Fortunately it survived as the wasp wasn't able to lay eggs in it.

Sounds about the same, using similar tactic to ensure survival in species. I don't interfere in nature, it really is a case of eat or be eaten.
Your wasp is the largest by what I read, packs a nasty sting as well.
Too nature, have a wonderful weekend.
We grew too attached to our pet outside tarantula to let it be harmed by the wasp lol. It ended up living a good 10 years before a toad finally took over its burrow.
Wow that is fascinating and very long living, wonder how long these wasps live to carry on getting spiders for their young?
Rain spiders lifespan is only two years here and they help keep other insect populations under control.
I think the wasps only live one year.
Logical thinking from larva to flight then back through cycle again, livelong in different forms. No idea how long wasp lifespan is in flight, possibly seasonal.
