    What is the tarantula's deadliest enemy?

    • Spider-Hunting Wasp

    • Rattlesnake

    • Another Tarantula

    Correct Answer
    A. Spider-Hunting Wasp
    Explanation
    The tarantula's deadliest enemy is the Spider-Hunting Wasp. These wasps are known for their ability to paralyze tarantulas with their venomous sting. Once the tarantula is immobilized, the wasp lays its eggs on the tarantula's body. The wasp larvae then feed on the paralyzed tarantula, eventually killing it. This predator-prey relationship between the tarantula and the Spider-Hunting Wasp highlights the effectiveness of the wasp's hunting strategy and the vulnerability of the tarantula to its attacks.
