Moving quickly along the ground. It went down a spider burrow and quickly exited, followed by the spider.

One the Grey wolf spider (from the same locality) should probably be afraid of.

Oh! Maybe the wasp judged the spider too big or too feisty. Or maybe the wasp did manage to sting the spider then backed out to wait for the venom to take effect.
