Aphids infected with Aphid Wasp

Aphididae infect with Pemphredoninae

Description:

Female wasp can infect about 200 aphids. They lay their eggs and the larvae slowly kill the aphids and emerge days later to infect other aphids.

Notes:

Nation Geographic has an awesome video about this process herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLtUk-W5Gpk.
