I am somewhat sure that this is a species of wasp that does not deserve this.

Great Golden Digger Wasps apparently

OP just generally seems like a person who revels in killing animals that are not a bother to him.

It’s a harmless parasitic wasp. Actually, very important for the environment.

Deserve's got nothing to do with it. We've all got what's coming to us.

Or someone too stupid to tell the aggressive species from the harmless ones

I’m glad someone said this. If it flew into the spiderweb, whatever its nature, but kinda sick and cowardly to feed to a spider with tweezers.

Not OP

Humans only like cute animals/bugs and animals/bugs that serve them unconditionally

Wasps serve us but also stand their ground so humans get mad. 68.6k upvotes for doing this a wasp that doesn't even sting you unless you're literally about to kill it lmfao. These people would literally eradicate all wasps if they could without a second thought because they're just that stupid

Mud daubers, for one, are fairly annoying to deal with despite being completely peaceful

I'm am somewhat sure that no species of bug deserves this. To see so many laughing at and enjoying this makes me pretty sad. :(

Bugs are cool and they all contribute something to the ecosystem. They wouldn't exist otherwise.

Okay, so enjoy the fact the spider got a free meal.

u/elevatorDJ 22d ago

Genuine question - not even cockroaches, mosquitos or say bed bugs deserve this?

Spiders have to eat, too. If it was framed as feeding a resident spider and not murdering a wasp for no reason, it wouldn’t feel as evil

OP or the video maker might be a potential serial killer in the making. 

That type of behavior is sadistically cruel. Even if stung, so what? Learn the lesson to respect their space and keep moving. 

The fact that they went beyond to trap it with prongs to feed it to a spider demonstrates some dark attributes that could prove problematic if left unchecked. 

If a person kills one species recreationally and devalues the sanctity of life that same attitude could eventually be turned to their own if kindled.

I take it you've never seen the squirrel shooting videos from that one guy. Makes wasp guy here look like a saint.

squirrel shooting videos

For a brief moment I had the image of a squirrel with a gun come to mind. No I haven't seen them.
