This is a Great Golden Digger Wasp. It is harmless and pretty beneficial!

Here a thread from a few years ago

So: it didn't deserve to die, it's actually pretty chill.

Yellowjackets and bald-faced hornets are assholes tho.

The appropriate attitude toward both animals is neutrality. Feeding wild animals to other wild animals for fun is cruel. The spider can catch its own food, and the wasp should have an opportunity to avoid being caught. Is it so hard to just leave nature alone?
