Body-Snatching Wasp Larvae Eat Aphids Alive | National Georgraphic

Black wasps have their own tactics and methods when it comes to pest control. Let's just say the aphid gets the short end of the bargain - when it becomes lunch for the wasps' larvae.

Nature.

[@SupercellsNSubies]

When the wasp came out of the bugs body it reminded me of a chestburster from Alien.

[@wolfer1225]

Exactly 🤓

[@RayMak]

They just saved the plants

I see you everywhere

[@abandonedchannel5573]

Caught one of these wasps earlier today, examined it, and let it out back into the wild. Later I saw another specimen (or the same lol) with a much longer stinger, didn't catch it this time tho. Terrifying yet amazing creatures.

I need to sleep, man

Can't you guys get a scientist to narrate these videos? Movie references seem out of place.

[@forhonor9871]

Yyyeeesssss. So we got spiders, dragonflies, garden snakes, praying mantises, and now, the black wasps :)

[@after9bars]

They're awesome! Aphids are a real pain in the ass to get rid of, and putting some of these wasps in my garden worked like a charm :)

[@matekeindiaan]

een vraagje waarom zijn zoveel mooie vidios ,niet bekijkbaar in België aub?

[@rasheedmatt5982]

I was watch GTA 5 videos and ended up here

[@telj1]

I'm upset with myself because I accidently killed a baby black wasp today. Thought it was a queen ant @ my job. I love these things because they keep the spiders in check here. It's interesting seeing em hunt/beat down a spider and drag it around!

[@RandomlyDevin]

I thought this was one of those honey badger videos lol

When he said "program" i ask my self if life is real.

[@ThePistolero909]

now i know what to do if i ever have aphids in my garden

[@after9bars]

@DaddyOD13 Well, I used to work in an organic greenhouse and they'd pass me a bag with some of their ready-to-hatch mummified aphids. However you can order them online, there are plenty of websites selling organic pest control methods. A cheaper way to get them though is to find plants that attract them...the same websites should help out with that too, I think.

[@djtron1x]

I'm glad I decided to watch this video while eating... :/

[@xyxean]

ooh damn and i thought this only happens in alien movies..

[@nataneraser]

so cool :D

[@LovezHD]

that's terrifying

[@IUseTechDecks]

wow.

[@TheCrazyCosplayerz]

glad those things arent big enough to target humans or else id walk out with armor every day

[@immanuelshiweda1567]

I wish this kind of wasp can do this to mosquitos

[@kdavidmcd]

@TwiggyJack Yes. The larvae ripped the aphid a new asshole.

[@dragonsissiy]

Makes you wonder what nature has in store for humans.

[@rockymogstad8428]

Is anyone here because of Mrs. Windell.

[@jadjabbour7874]

sad story...

[@MoosaiLuver]

@aguirrmar NatGeo doesn't revolve around the religious views of the general public. If they did, nothing would get done.

[@wizzlesticks]

National Geographic are very outdated. So many better documentaries with full HD quality close ups of the egg laying and emerging larvae readily available. Nat Geo need to stop relying on their outdated stock footage and get out into the wild and start filming!

[@moemoney012]

Dayum nature, You scary!!

[@markfencingman]

what she does to a human? , would we also die ? like eaten from inside\?

[@Nelmistro]

Damn nature....You scary!

[@dragonballgt132]

creepy but i find this very amazing, cmon think about it

[@wolvesdd]

cool

[@MrRedHotChiliMan]

Good thing these wasps keep the aphids at bay. Otherwise, it would be total crop destruction. There is always a delicate balance with nature. Something, it seems, the majority of humans fail to understand.

[@lorddoma6637]

I found Prometheus!

[@anatureperson]

Wow now that's evil.

[@edimilsonneves840]

[@afromania247]

did this remind anyone of alien?

[@uzernam303]

Narrator seems to be trying a bit too hard to be cool and hip with the kids, daddyo.
Otherwise quite the interesting and somewhat scary video.

[@Guyasudre]

Like my loyal fellow UA-camrs say: DAMN NATURE! YOU SCARY.

[@wendy3212]

[@someone0d]

That commentator is weird! He sounds like watching terrible deaths is satisfying.
