Summary

Certain wasps control crop pests by injecting eggs coated in a virus that alters the host larva's immune and endocrine systems. This sophisticated strategy keeps the pest in an immature, low-appetite state to ensure the survival of the developing wasps. Image: Red monomachidae wasp (parasitoid), João P.
