Can't we just all get along. Apparently not. Here is a piece of amber with a spider caught in the act of killing, or at least attacking a wasp. That wasp just thought he was having a bad day when that blob of tree resin fell on them and immortalized their struggle. Of course he might have thought it was the most timely rescue in history. Just as the mandibles are closing in, death is imminent...splat! Resin pins the spider down and he cannot move. The wasp struggles to escape but with one out-streched claw the spider clings on, the resin seeps over him, slowly closing off his escape, covering him and he thinks to himself "not like this...not like this," until the last light is extinguished and his doom overtakes him.
Or he wasn't thinking at all as he's just a wasp. Pretty cool snapshot in any case!
