Wasp Problem

We have had a wasp problem in NZ. It's not as bad as it has been but they are still somewhat of an issue. They are predatory in nature and are usually the perpetrator but sometimes the victim as well. Here is a case of the latter.

The wasp has got itself tangled in a spider's web. As I noticed it, a spider came running out to see what was for dinner. I was about to go out, so left it at that. When I came home, nothing was there so I cannot be sure of the outcome. However, for the brief time I observed the situation the spider seemed unperturbed at what was entrapped.
