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. ....

This Stunning New Wasp Species Was Discovered Through Its 'Language'


This Stunning New Wasp Species Was Discovered Through Its Language
KEY POINTS
Researchers discovered a new cuckoo wasp species
They made the discovery by observing the species language
Researchers have discovered a new cuckoo wasp species, thanks to the language  the insects use.
Cuckoo wasps are parasitic wasps that lay their eggs in other nests, where their larvae grow fast and end up eating the hosts  larvae, eggs and other food supply, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) explained in a
study, published in Insect Systematics and Diversity, a team of researchers was able to spot a new species that s essentially  speaking the language of their hosts. ....

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

Researchers in Norway were able to determine Chrysis parabrevitarsis was a new species because it used a different language than a nearly identical species. Cuckoo wasps infiltrate nests by mimicking their victims pheromones ....

Cuckoo wasps are the ultimate bad houseguests, hiding their eggs in other insect s nests and then allowing them to hatch and eat their siblings.
