This wasp collects spiders for its newly emerged larva to feast on. The spiders are not dead, just paralysed.

Wasps are having a great year - because the spiders are. There are so many about they have no trouble collecting enough to stock the pantry.

The nursery
Each has a number of compartments. I have this collection in a jar and will photograph the growth and development if the conditions are OK.
