Here in the South eastern United States
these bayside plants actually chemical mist
And SOS to these black wasps
Why? Because black wasps are known as aphid killers
And some aphids are busily sucking life out of the plant
Now the spies nickname this wasp, isn’t here nearly to kill the aphids
No that would be too easy
Like a character in a James Bond movie the wasp has more exquisite punishment by the aphid
With a clinical precision, the wasp ejects a single egg into each aphid's body
This means a slow death by the aphid as the wasp egg grows inside it
Each wasp can implant eggs into 200 aphids
The aphids send out their own chemical alarm system and the colony panics
But it’s too late the wasp has done its work “HASTA LA VISTA BABY”
And we mean baby, the aphids face a gruesome of dead
The revered wasp larva will eat the aphid alive from the inside out
The aphid's body becomes the incubator for the younger aphid predator
A new generation of assassins will soon emerge leadering these killingfield with corpses
Ok now here is the money shoot, the young wasp emerging to see caught more aphids to begin this cycle all over again
The wasp whit its exquisite deathly plan and yet just doing what nature is programed to do
