Confirmed by scientists from France and Canada that the female wasp lay their eggs in the belly of the beetle through the bitten and even make these insect larvae spam guard on it.
The Frederick Thomas of the University of Montpellier, France and the University of Montreal, Canada, the female wasp larvae live for twenty days in its host, the beetle, and feed on their tissues, but without killing her.
The scientists noted Monday in the Journal of "biological" to Aters of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Britain, that the larvae emerge from the belly of the beetle through the hole Tthagbh from within the shield beetle, and weave a thread silk between the legs of the beetle, forcing them so guarded, where the beetle in the case of semi-paralysis due to this tissue.
The researchers stressed that the reason behind this strategy is that the female wasp larvae that live in the protection of the beetle are less vulnerable to attack by birds and predatory insects compared to larvae that live without this special protection, according to the newspaper stated "Jerusalem is Arab."
However, the researchers pointed out at the same time that this strategy is flawed by the possibility that the fertility decline in the degree of female wasp forced to choose between eating beetles that live in the bosom in order to produce eggs, to keep the beetle for the benefit of her offspring.
The researchers explained that about 25% of the beetles survive, but this control and return later to conduct the first.
