If you've never seen a tarantula hawk before and then one day you encounter this 3+ inch long purple wasp dragging an equally large spider across the ground, it will freak you out a little.

I had one fly through my open window while I was going 80 on the highway.

Didn’t know what it was at the time, but luckily it was stunned in the back of my car.

Pulled over and looked up what it could be. Threw that fucker out as fast as I could before it could murder me.
