Black Ichneumon Parasitic Wasp #insects #bugs #entomology

Female black giant ichneumon wasps can sense wood wasp larvae feeding deep inside a log, possibly by hearing them chew, and precisely target them by drilling through the wood with their ovipositor.  They then inject the larva with a paralyzing venom and deposit an egg nearby.  The ichneumon wasp larvae feeds on the paralyzed wood wasp larvae and pupates within the tree until adulthood the next spring.
