Osa najeznica (Por. Ichneumonidae) lovi određene vrste insekata (na slici je munjevitim ubodom savladala pauka i paralizirala ga svojim otrovom), u njih leže ličinke koje se hrane njegovim tkivom i na taj način razvijaju na štetu domaćina. Ova osica je vrlo lukava, ne  prilazi pauku sve dok se žrtva potpuno paralizira. U ovom slučaju pauk je bio potpuno paraliziran već nakon 5 minuta, osa ga je zatim uhvatila snažnim čeljustima, vukla ga preko zida visine 1m i odvukla ga u travu, gdje je položila jaja i na taj način, okončavši jedan, započela novi život.
