Yeah it was really cool to watch it was smaller than the spider but took the spider off with no problem

These guys are cool. I think it might be a Mud-dauber. I do not know the species though because there are a lot of wasps in that category. Check out the wikipedia article for their diet on the link below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud_dauber This link has various photos and videos of the different species, but not much information on them. http://eol.org/pages/7493/media
