Yesterday with a friend I filmed a tarantula hawk dragging a stunned tarantula back into its burrow. Check out the video HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRlZS1El8WI
Tarantula Hawk & Tarantula on Laurel Canyon Trail in Laguna Canyon, Laguna Coast Wilderness Park. Taken just a few hundred feet south of signpost 10 on 26 May 2009. When we first stumbled upon the scene of the crime, the T Hawk seemed to have just stunned its victim, and went into its hole as we approached the tarantula. One of us poked the tarantula with a short stick to see if it was still alive - and then flipped the tarantula back onto its feet... and was going to place it off to the side of the trail so that it wouldn't get stepped on, if it was still alive and just stunned... but the T Hawk came back and wanted to finish its business, which we allowed.
