New parasitic wasp species discovered in Norway

New parasitic wasp species discovered in Norway Harry Cockburn © Provided by The Independent A new species of parasitic wasp, which lays its eggs in other bee and wasp nests where their larvae hatch and eat their hosts’ developing offspring, has been discovered in Norway. The species belongs to a group of insects known as cuckoo wasps, due to their underhand child-rearing methods similar to the birds. They have brightly coloured iridescent carapaces that shine like jewels, and they are also known as emerald wasps, but due to their physical similarities it has been very difficult for etymologists to distinguish some species.

Rare cuckoo wasp species found in Norway learns the language of other insects before attacking

Researchers in Norway were able to identify an entirely new cuckoo wasp based on a single specimen. To infiltrate the homes of unsuspecting wasps, the killer insects mimic their hosts pheromones and to avoid inbreeding, each species of cuckoo wasp chooses a different host. While the newcomer was visually and genetically almost identical to Chrysis brevitarsis, it spoke a different chemical language, meaning it was an entirely new species Scroll down for video Researchers in Norway were able to determine Chrysis parabrevitarsis was a new species because it used a different language than a nearly identical species.
