Giant wasp attacks and kills a tarantula

These incredible pictures capture the "once-in-a-lifetime" sight of a giant wasp attacking and killing an even bigger tarantula.

Lior Kestenberg, 21, was packing his bags after a trip to the mountains in Israel when he heard a peculiar sound coming from outside.

He walked into the garden to see the massive black spider wrestling with a huge wasp, and dashed to get his camera and record the "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity".
