The Museum of Natural story in Berlin recently allowed its patron to name one of its henceforth unnamed wasp metal money . The name the public chose was Ampulex dementor , either out out of Harry Potter fandom or because the wasp really is the Dementor of the beast man .
earnestly ! Here ’s howNature World Newsdescribes the Ampulex dementor conquer its prey :
Native to Thailand , A. dementor has promising red and black coloring , and is one of over 200 coinage of wasp which procreate using a host brooder – in the wasp ’s case , it uses the cockroach .
The female demesne on top of a roach and use its cut to inject neurolysin directly into the roach ’s head . The cockroach right away takes on a zombi - like obedient state and follows the wasp back to her tunnel . There , she lays her egg inside the cockroach , which incubates the eggs for a few days until it cover . The larva then feeds on the Rutilus rutilus that birthed it until it ’s old enough to go off on its own , harmonize toiflscience.com .
Now , just for comparison , here ’s how theHarry Potter Wikidescribes Dementors doing the same :
Dementors give off human felicity , and thus cause depression and despair to anyone near them . They can alsoconsume a person ’s person , entrust their victims in a permanentvegetative commonwealth , and thus are often referred to as “ someone - sucking fiends ” and are known to impart a someone as an ’ empty - shell ’
Are the wasp ’s victims as unhappy as the Dementor ’s ? Well , since they are living zombie white Anglo-Saxon Protestant egg incubators that are easy eaten alive , I ’m get going to guess yeah , they ’re less than thrilled .
The museum wanted to raise awareness of and pursuit in scientific taxonomy , so delegacy accomplished there . Meanwhile , I take heed Ampulex dementor has been admitted to Hogwarts . It even put on the Sorting Hat , who announced it would be assign to House AAAA IT ’S A FUCKING WASP AAAAAAA .
