Just saw our first tarantula hawk of the season, I know they just ignore us but damn if that things is not scary looking. Here's a picture of a nest that we found last year. The wasp paralized the tarantula and takes it back into the tarantula's nest, deposited it's eggs on the tarantula and then the wasp larvae eat the tarantula turn into a wasp and fly away...

Ack but interesting! We have cicada killers here which look like ginormous wasps. They also want nothing to do with us and only want to eat cicadas but still catches me off guard when I see one flying around.
