Good time of day.
So I'm sitting with the window open, I see an insect that looks like an ant, only 1-1.5 cm in size, flies into the window. He throws this on the windowsill and ... flies away. This is the second time this has happened. I put it in a jar. Any versions of what it might be? The region is Kaluga.

P.S. while writing another similar one got knocked up.

It is possible that some wasp brings spiders from hunting.
There should be specialists here, maybe they will tell you more precisely.

Yes, it looks like a spider, only without limbs. I still wonder why they bring them to my room.
Thanks!

Have you really trained a lot?
Did the limbs come off during capture or because they dried up

Well - defined road wasps are Auplopus carbonarius (Scopoli, 1763) [Pompilidae].
The spider's legs are bitten off after it is paralyzed. It makes individual rounded cells from clay, which it places in suitable ready-made cavities, usually in wood.
Spiders are not specially dragged to you, but simply dropped. Often pompils don't return for lost loot.
