 note = {I report herein an observational case that Argiope amoena, a common large orb-weaving spider representative in Japan, preyed on a yellow-vented hornet Vespa analis insularis with wrapping. It was previously reported that about half of the diets foraged by A. amoena are composed of Hymenoptera mainly honeybees and ants (Formicidae gen. sp.). However, to my knowledge, the cases that a hornet of Vespa sp., the largest of the eusocial wasps and known as a predator of insects and spiders, is fed upon by A. amoena, are rarely documented in scientific literature; by contrast, some cases, vespine hornets attack Argiope spiders and steal the prey items from the web of argiopids, have been reported. The present study shows that A. amoena is not only a prey fed upon by the vespid but also one of the natural enemies of the yellow jacket such as V. analis., Serket, 17(3), pp.188-193; 2020},
