Hello and welcome back to “Moriarty’s Monsters,” where we explore the strange and deranged.

This week we have an insect that will make you want to role in a ditch and die to death. This evil with wings and a stinger is something straight from the deepest pits of hell. It’s a Tarantula Hawk, you dumb idiot, and it’s from Texas, so messing with it is already a bad option.This thing will literally make you cry like a five year old like it’s nobody’s business.

First of all, it has one of the most powerful stings of any insect and is two inches long, which is freakin’ huge for a wasp. Second of all, the second you’re stung, you become paralyzed for about 3-5 minutes, which will literally feel like you’re body has been pumped with battery acid and glass. You’ll be thinking the whole time that dying is a better option than suffering through another moment of this winged Satan’s sting.

Now, you’re probably thinking why its called the “Tarantula Hawk.” Well I’ll tell you why. Only the females have stingers so that is one good thing about it, but this is for one morbid reason. This psycho wasp literally hunts tarantulas, paralyzes them with its stinger, drags it into an enclosed area, then proceeds to lay a single egg inside its body. The tarantula will be paralyzed and alive for the next few weeks, and slowly be eaten alive by the baby hell spawn.

You better thank the good Lord above that youre not a tarantula or youd be super dead. Luckily, this wasp doesn’t bother humans, even if approached, but they will not hesitate to sting you, if you decide to touch them.

So, if you’re ever having a crappy day, just remember you could be a tarantula with a parasitic baby wasp eating you from the inside out, and you’ll realize life isn’t so bad.
