Syntretus Perlmani
โข News: Researchers have recently discovered a new species of parasitoid
wasp, Syntretus perlmani, that matures inside living adult fruit flies before
dramatically emerging, reminiscent of scenes from the Alien films.
๐Syntretus Perlmani:
๐ Syntretus perlmani is a newly identified species of parasitoid wasp.
๐Unlike related wasps that typically infect the larval and pupal stages of flies, S. perlmani is the first wasp found to specifically target adult fruit flies.
๐ These wasps are considered parasitoids rather than parasites because they always kill their hosts, unlike parasites that generally leave their hosts alive.
๐Female S. perlmani wasps use a specialised organ called an ovipositor to
inject their eggs directly into the abdomen of adult fruit flies.
