Sorry if this is the wrong sub but I guess it is spider related…

I was just amazed by the brutality of this spider wasp on my zucchini plant. It paralyses the spider and drags it to a “pot” it made before, lays eggs inside the living spider and then closes the lid.

Does anyone of you guys know what kind of spider it is?
