Tarantula vs. "Horse Killer"

I found these adorable little fellas in the lawn outside of my classroom today. Nothing like a bit of blood-lust to make your afternoon cheerier. Can I just say I'm glad these two are far, faar away from my house. I'm pretty sure my heart would have stopped beating if I encountered these guys in my bedroom.
Just to clarify: the spider is a tarantula and the thing that's killing it is a "matacaballo," which more or less means "horse killer." Hmm...

    THAT is pretty disgusting...but, since I hate tarantulas, I'm actually pretty okay with it dying. However, I'm not sure how I feel about that matacaballo...
    It's hard to picture how that tiny bug could kill a horse ten times its size (probably even bigger than that). I would imagine it would be easily crushed under the hoofs.
    Anyway, have fun avoiding the bugs and every other creepy crawly out there! ;D
