Bugs
Hey there, here are some bugs: a wasp and a ladybird. You know I love a good insect. And so I've also been looking through my Nature Encyclopedia, and have found out that:
-There are over 150,000 species of bees and wasps.
-Most wasp women have an egg-laying tube called an ovipositor. It can drill through wood and deposit the eggs inside, as this is safer. In parasitic species this can also be used to bore the host animal's skin. And in some, the ovipositor has evolved into the insect's sting.
Lovely.
