Emerald Cockroach Wasp

The Emerald Cockroach Wasp’s sting is a very effective method of killing cockroaches. The first sting temporarily paralyzes the cockroach, and it then injects a second sting into its head. The second sting disables the roach’s motor signals, but leaves the roach’s legs able to move. The wasp then walks the roach back to its nest using its antennae.

The Emerald Cockroach Wasp lives in warm climates and can be found in Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Pacific Islands. It was accidentally introduced into Hawaii in 1941, but failed to control the population. It later accidentally reached Brazilian ports, where it thrived in a habitat that mimicked a tropical climate. The temperature and humidity were kept above 50% to create a perfect replica of the insect’s natural habitat.

The Emerald Cockroach Wasp feeds primarily on roaches, and they can fertilize multiple eggs using the sperm that has been stored in their ovaries. During the day, they fly around looking for the perfect roach to lay their eggs, and at night they turn the roach into a zombie.

The emerald Cockroach Wasp’s larva feeds on the hemolymph and internal organs of a cockroach. The larva feeds on the cockroach’s body for four to five days before emerging as a fully-grown adult wasp.
