Pompilidae wasps only paralyze them... and then they give the spider to their larvae... and the spider is ate alive (it is like a dead-alive)...
Sphecidae wasps predate on spiders, for example. And Ichneumonoidea wasps parasite the spiders.
In diptera, only the famous Acroceridae flies parasite them. Acrocerids are really true ENDOparasitoids of spiders.
