| Ectemnius continuus | February 28 2025 | Buket Alue Puteh, Aceh, Indonesia |
Today I want to show you all about an interesting incident that happened in the insect world, an Ectemnius continuus which is a type of solitary wasp was trapped in a spider's web, this active wasp is usually known for its ability to hunt small insects as food for its larvae, but this time Ectemnius continuus became a victim in their hunt and this was an unexpected incident for the predator in the wild.
Spider webs are often seen as deadly traps for various types of insects, this extraordinary work of arachnids makes various species have to be careful in the wild, in the natural world the fight between predators and their prey is never expected, Ectemnius continuus with its slender body and flying ability tries hard to escape from the deadly trap, but the spider web is so strong that it makes Ectemnius continuus difficult to move so that its entire body is wrapped in very strong spider threads.
