The Bracanoid Wasp
The female Bracanoid Wasp uses something known as an ovipositor to sting the Hornworm and inject its eggs inside it. They mainly live in a wasp nest. Worker wasps get pollen and protect the nest. The wasp's lifespan is 22 days at best, though the queen will live at least 3 years. This explains why there are so many children.
FUN FACTS:
• The Bracanoid Wasp will not sting humans.
• The queen lays about 1,300 eggs in a lifetime.
• Most gardeners will actually buy this wasp to release it into their garden, so that they begin feeding on the various pests in the garden.
• They belong to the Hymenoptera family, along with bees and ants.
• They can be either internal OR external parasites.
