If you like what we do please consider supporting us on Patreon. We want to take a second and thank Custom Aquaria for providing us with the tanks necessary to make this film. Do check them out at Check us out on facebook! Be thankful the Jeweled or Emerald Cockroach Wasp (Ampulex compressa) only targets roaches! This parenting trick is both brilliant and nightmarish, just one of the ways nature can trump science fiction and horror every time. And why is it so beautiful? No one knows. It definitely doesn’t need to be with venom like that! Narration by Dave Gillies. Music by Barbara De Biasi
