Наездник Clistopyga sp. упаковывает парализованного паука в его собственную паутину

This video demonstrates how Clistopyga sp. seals an opening in the silken nest of its paralysed spider host with its ovipositor working like a felting needle. Fibres of silk attaching to the serrated tip of the ovipositor during the upstrokes can clearly be seen in slow motion (10% speed) at 01:03 min. Video by Niclas R. Fritzén.
