Wrasps
I watched Live Earth yesterday..
It featured Life on underground..Then I realised that to the small little insects like ants, bees or the how many millions of different lifeforms living beneath the tree canopy.it is all about survival and to produce next generations..
During the period when they start maturing to next stage/adult, cruelty and lots of digusting acts of stealing others' lives.it's so yucky but very True!
A great example will the the wasps..OMG~
Just dislike them!! Fear not! It's not eating the caterpiller..it's just injecting it's egg/lavae into the caterpiller. This enables its young to grow and feed on the caterpiller's mineral. Eventually, when the caterpiller is fully grown after 2 long years, when it hatches from the cocoon, a butterfly AND a WASP will come out of it....That's sooo Yucky!! A man-made or insect-made 'twins'.
I saw the part when the wasp attached its egg onto an autumn spider..Being a spider, although it has eight long legs, if something is being attached to your body intersection, (i.e. near the adobmen part), no matter how you struggle against..it WILL NEVER BE DETACHED FROM YOU!!
YucKS! Thus, for the long long autumn..the spider weaves it's web and catches its food and fed on it. When the spider is feeding on its food, the lavae (caterpillar) is feeding on the spider..gradually sucking the juices/life of the poor spider..
Towards the end of the autumn season, the spider suddenly is unable to do any web at all. This was caused by the hormonal change in the spider because the lavae has been injecting some disturbing & poisonious substances into the spider when it sank it's tooth into the spider..
The Lavae..knowing that its support is soon going to be unavailable, it Sucked all of the spider's juices out until the spider falls down to die..totally dried out.
After that, the lavae then finds a good place and spins it's own cocoon using the spider's web juices...
And it grows and matures into a WASP!! I just so dislike wasps now..anything different species doesn't matter..No points added if they are sooo useful to the ecosystem! Being too dependent is one thing..but making use of others' lives & offspring..YucKS!!
