At this point, the spider's behaviour changes and it becomes enslaved by the larva, moving away from its communal nest to create a cocoon-shaped web of its own. > The larva feeds on the spider until it dies, in the relative safety of the cocoon-shaped web its host just built before spinning its own cocoon and, eventually, emerging as a beautiful, regal wasp.
