Imagine that after it punches it's way through your chest it makes you tuck it in and cook it dinner. That's what this wasp actually does!
Cotesia golmerata, arguably the most interesting animal in all of nature. I (TC camera op James) have been trying to film this for the last three years. This was my white whale. Hope you enjoy it!

@TheAsharedhett Рік тому
What I'm most intrigued by is the "mind control" aspect of this. If she simply laid they eggs and they parasitically grew from within the caterpillar, that wouldn't be any kind of shock, but this fundamental change of behavior to become sacrificially altruistic towards the offspring of its former prey is fascinating and disturbing.

@R0DSTER Рік тому
this is just me guessing without further research but i'm not sure that it's necessarily mind control...it looked like the parasites covered themselves with the caterpillar's own silk, possibly to deceive and be accepted by the caterpillar as its own. in return this could cause some instinctive trigger in the caterpillar's dna of taking care of them, even if these caterpillars don't have their own young at that stage cycle

honestly ichneumon wasp have a particular spot in my mind, im fascinated by them. When I was a kid we took a field trip to some flower field but I just remember this giant black wasp flying by me with what I thought was a huge stinger. I was so terrified and disgusted at that time, I thought how could bugs exist like that? It wasnt until I was older that I tried researching that bag and understood that insects are just elite life forms in a small body. If they were bigger and smarter bugs would absolutely terrorize the planet.

When I was about 13 years old, in my garden there were a lot of caterpillars and I was very excited to see how these insects became pupae and then butterflies, but I remember looking at a caterpillar and seeing that it behaved strangely, to which I kept observing when suddenly , those worms began to emerge! I was simply shocked because I didn't understand what was happening, how it was possible that worms came out of a caterpillar, I was appalled, but then I did some research and found out what it was. A bit mirk.

@Emajenus 3 роки тому
It's not insane because this is how ecosystems do population control. Some animals are eaten, some animals are used in other ways. It's a very delicate balance. The less of these caterpillars are there, the less the wasps can breed, and the more caterpillars are there, the more the wasps can breed. If the caterpillars go extinct, the wasps will follow. And if the wasps go extinct somehow, the caterpillar population would go out of control, likely impacting the feeding habits of some other animals in their ecosystem.

@@antoniolima1068 A little dramatic but I get your point. What wasps do may be horrific, but it keeps ecosystems stable and is an excellent alternative to pesticide use. They definitely deserve continued existence, when they aren't doing parasitic horror show stuff, they are doing many other ecological services like pollination. Having them gone would not only result in their prey species overpopulating, but would also result in the deaths of numerous flowers (bees and butterflies don't pollinate everything) among other things, mostly related to plant health. A shame people only judge them by their covers, considering that when it comes to wasps, that's often the least charismatic part of them.

1. The square-cube law works in both directions. This means that as a species's average size decreases, the more efficient it gets strength-wise. It's why fleas can jump and fall many times its height without injury, but an elephant can't jump without destroying its legs. 2. Their skeletons is literally their outsides. That means there are no bones inside to take up space, which leaves more room for muscles.
