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.

This link has various photos and videos of the different species, but not much information on them.
