A new found wespensoort of the Amazon turns out to lay eggs in the spiders to the spiders, to force it to the eggs to protect them. A Finnish research group in the university of Turku, describes the species in the scientific journal Zootaxa.
a total of fifteen, wasps, and all of them exhibit this behavior. The wasps are "parasitoids," meaning that they need to grow and survive in a host, that host will then have to kill you. This is different from a parasite in which the host does not kill the need for the parasite to live in.
The newly discovered wasp, of the genus 'Acrotaphus have the low-down on the spider. A woman is a spider in the web, and viewing it with a venomous sting. If the spin in a daze, the wasp is a piece of cake in the child's best interests.
Out of the egg comes a larva which, after the lapse of a period of time, the gastspin will have to eat it. After that, the larva pupates and turns it into a long and brightly-coloured structure, which is several centimeters in size, can be used.
Until the gastspin due to death, living through it with the music in the back. At that time, the animals with nets, but not for himself, and eat to compensate. The moederwesp, the host is so manipulated, that is, that a specially designed web spiders for the larva to protect it as that will consume it.
Newly discovered wasps display a unique behaviour
The team at the Finnish university of Turku investigating for over twenty years, and the diversity of parasitoids in tropical regions. There are a lot of types of parasitoïde give you, but these new developments are quite unique, and the handling of transferable diseases animals, as insects do, and is rarely found in nature.
The animals are found in the various rain forests of the Amazon, as well as other tropical parts of the Andes mountain range. The Finnish researchers were working together with the Brazilian National Institute for Research in the Amazon. The researchers say they have on every trip in the Amazon basin, new species are discovered, be located in a manner that has never been seen before.
