Title: huge evil mutant mosquito pt. II!
Post by: Octavius on May 10, 2002, 10:55:39 AM

This isnt a mosquito... but it sure is nasty looking!  Bah!  On my lunchbreak, I come home and see this thing on my window.  I took a few pics and then slaughtered him.  Strange thing is, I cant find the remains!.  I gave'em a good smacking with a rolled up newspaper... his head is smeared on the paper, but the body and the HUGE stinger looking thing is nowhere to be seen.

I'm scared it will come back to haunt me. :eek:

That's just the baby.  Wait until Big Momma finds out what you did and comes after you.

Now this is a scary critter..."Tarantula Hawk"

Quote

Their means of reproduction is what gives them their name and fascinates those of us with a morbid curiosity. Females who are ready to lay eggs is on the lookout for a tarantula. They often disturb the web near a tarantulas burrow, and when the tarantula rushes out the wasp stings the spider and injects venom.

Now this is where it gets weird. Instead of killing the tarantula, the venom only causes paralysis. The wasp then drags the tarantula to a burrow, stuffs it down the hole, and then lays her eggs on top of the paralyzed spider. Several days later the eggs hatch, and the larvae feed on the still living tarantula. Not a pleasant way to spend your last days! When the larvae mature they metamorphose into adult wasps to complete the cycle.

Note: Use the Sunday paper only on this bad boy.
