RE: Ampulex compressa: The Wasp That Enslaves Cockroaches With a Sting to the Brain

in #animals7 years ago (edited)

Hey thanks! Yeah, I try to keep it simple and fun. I am always leaving references for further reading for the people who want to learn more about how things really work. Apparently the sting of that wasp has some supersensitive sensors on the sting that help feel its way inside the head of the roach! It's true, nature is full of wonders!
