Interestingly enough, I was watching some similar contests last week in France, this time hornet v. very large spider (orb web).

The hornet appeared to blunder into the spider web, the spider rushed up and there was a struggle, followed by legs being thrown out of the web. The hornet had killed the spider, nearly its own size, and removed the legs. It then revved up as it was caught in the web, broke free, and flew of with the body in its jaws. I saw two more do it in the space of an hour or so to other orb web spiders nearby. A good tactical approach!

thanks chris, the wasp was only 3 to 5 mm and it was going to put a grub on the spider like it did on this one
