    One sunny arvo at Eildon some mates and I watch an epic Battle between a massive huntsman and the biggest wasp I had ever seen.
    The spider lost and the wasp tried flying off with it but had to drag it backwards up a brick wall.

    We stopped to have a fish in a creek up near Kalumburu a couple of years ago and a wasp about that size was dragging off a huntsman-sized spider (didn't appear to be an actual huntsman) presumably to lay in stock for it's eggs. My wife had to move from where she was sitting, it was about to drag the thing straight over her. Meanwhile I was having a tug-of-war with a freshie that was trying to steal the fish off my line. A memorable afternoon.

    I would say it was bigger and had a yellow and black abdomen that was the size of my thumb.

    Sounds like the same animal, very surprising that they are found in the south.

    There was a tv show on last night that showed some video of a Tarantula being attacked by a Tarantula Hawk Wasp, they have a sting that paralyses the spider then they drag it back to their nest and lay an egg in it .
