Yellow & Black Wasp with a paralyzed spider

Description:

Small (approx. 10mm in length) yellow and black wasp.

Habitat:

Tropical forest

Notes:

Found this wasp with a spider that I assume it had stung and paralyzed before I got there. It seemed to be waiting, maybe for the spider to become completely incapacitated. Higher resolution images can be seen here, https://www.flickr.com/photos/66454855@N...
