Look at the innocent looking wasp below, let me know what do you think if this small bright colored insect, do you think it has a painful sting?
Apparently, this little wasp has more than just a sting, something more dangerous, and a more scary fact. This bright wasp belongs to the Braconidae family, The Braconidae are a family of parasitoid wasps. . You heard it right, there is something more sinister from this cute little creature, which is luckily not harmful to human.
The female of this wasp will inject its egg into the host which sometimes are the nymph of the other species, like a caterpillar or smaller insect. The egg will hatch inside of the host, and eat the host inside out. Speaking of a monster or a zombie in real life. scary isn't it?
Look at the sting part of this creature as you can see in the photo below, it is long, and black in color, so it contrasts with the bright orange or yellow color of its body.
But, still if you look closely you can admire the beauty of this little wasp, with its bright color, the strong difference of the color of its body which contain black and orange color, as well as the overall shape of this wasp. It really an amazing nature.
