@spawn Nice to see a great video of one, thanks for sharing. 
Especially one that isn't one of those ignorant and cruel "battle/vs/war bug" videos that are overtaking YouTube and parts of Facebook.
Interestingly enough it seems they are parasitic in reproduction and primarily attack wolf spider (Lycosidae) egg sacs in my area. So it seems I should pay closer attention to wasps/hornets/bees to see one myself, as they are around here for sure.

I've kept two of these, or a very similar species. A lot smaller than that one though- probably has to do with the size of the spiders they ate as larvae.
