Samurai Wasp (Trissolcus japonicus)

“The discovery in Washington state of a parasitic wasp that kills its host like a scene from the “Alien” sci-fi movie has entomologists cheering from the west coast to the east. That’s because the wasp’s victim – the brown marmorated stink bug – is far more wicked.
