Critter of the Week: Glowworm parasite

Afternoons - Ein Podcast von RNZ - Freitags

This week's critter is a tiny wasp that looks a lot like an ant. It lives in and around healthy native forest gullies where there are plenty of glowworms. But these wasps aren't looking for a romantic starry night backdrop; they lay their eggs inside the glowworms, and when the larvae hatch, they eat their way out.
