Watch how a female wasp excavates her burrow in the soil. She will provision the young with a paralysed hopper. #insect #biology #wasp #interestinginsectbehaviour
They are very cool. They were making their burrows where there was an outbreak of brown locust hoppers that were newly hatched. Clever to make a burrow where there is plenty of food hopping around.
always been kind of interested in bugs and definitely was convinced by society that they're gross but after learning so much more about them i have a newfound appreciation! thanks for sharing❤
Very cool 👌

Totally agree! The more you learn about bugs, the more you will appreciate them. They are far more interesting and complex than we realise.
The wasp kills a hopper?
They paralyze the hopper and the larvae feed off it.
@@amazingnatureupclosewow i totally thought that was unique to tarantula hawks for some reason! fascinating and horrifying at the same time!
