Entypus magnus (Cresson)

GA: Gordon County, Oakman; 2 July 2020; L. Kimmerling (flowntheloop). Host: Agelenopsis cf naevia (Walckenaer) ( Agelenidae), subadult adult male. A series of photographs show the wasp staddling the paralyzed grass spider, venter to dorsum, dragging it along the ground and up a vertical structure by grasping the base of its chelicera with her mandibles. The spider’s first pair of walking legs were missing and probably lost during the capture by the wasp (Kimmerling 2020).

TX: Wise County, 9 km W of Greenwood, south side of Cottonwood Lake; 4 July 2020; J. Newman (jwn). Host: Rabidosa rabida, subadult male. The wasp pulled the paralyzed wolf spider backwards through low grasses, dorsal side upward, grasping the base of its chelicera with her mandibles (Newman 2020).
