Wasp attacking. Spider was putting up some fight but wasp was able to drag spider along the tree branch. At one stage the wasps wings were quivering rapidly and after that it appeared that the spider stopped any resistance. I looked away and both suddenly gone. The wasp seemed incredibly strong. I’m adding the spider as a separate entry, not a duplicate
