‘Horror wasp’ is the new buzz as Mississippi scientists discover frightening insect species
SUMMARY:
Researchers at Mississippi State University, led by Assistant Professor Matthew Ballinger, have discovered a new parasitic wasp species, Syntretus perlmani, which lays its eggs in the abdomen of fruit flies. The wasp embryo hatches inside the living fly and emerges roughly 18 days later, resembling an alien creature. This terrifying process leaves the fly alive for several hours post-emergence. The research, published in Nature, revealed this unique behavior, as previous studies focused on wasps attacking immature life stages. This discovery may also help control fruit fly populations, which are commonly considered pests.
