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).
