I rarely see baboon spiders in the veld. This one made its presence known by rather frantic running up restio stems. The problem soon became apparent: a very large spider-wasp was standing nearby. We guessed it had already stung the spider and was waiting for paralysis to set in. I suppose some would say that one should let nature take its course, but I can't think of a much more horrific way to die, being eaten alive. So i took it 50m away and left it hidden under a large rock. I guess it will die anyway, though someone said they revived a stung rainspider.
