Tarantula hawks are a breed of spider wasps who stalk tarantulas, with the goal of laying their eggs inside of them. Their sting is the second most painful in the world, followed only by the bullet ant.

An uncensored look at the glamorous life of a filmmaker! 'The Pray' is now streaming at http://bit.l
