David Attenborough Discovers MUMMIFIED Bugs and More Plant Horrors! | Nature Bites
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
David Attenborough expolores the more dangerous side of plants as he meets a carniverous plant and discovers horrifying MUMMIFIED aphids!
Aphid mummies indicate the presence of tiny parasitic wasps that lay eggs inside the aphids. The wasp larva hatches and feeds inside the aphid, killing it. The skin of dead aphids turns crusty and golden brown or black, a form called a mummy. Not long after, the adult wasp chews an exit hole and emerges from the aphid's body. During warm weather, parasitic wasps may have several generations and cause a rapid decline in aphid populations.
From Kingdom of Plants Season 1 Episode 3, "Solving the Secrets": this series, narrated and presented by Sir David Attenborough, documents the world of plants, from the strangest to the most beautiful. Plus, a look at how plants change their biology to adapt to the changing seasons, and ensure their survival.

Try insecticidal soaps? Or, if you can, move the plants outdoors to a shaded area for a few hours each day. Just make sure that it's not too cold or too hot for the plants, and don't let 'em get sunburnt.
Even Aliens seem a bit familiar after seeing these creatures. Incredible!

Dear David Attenborough and Nature Bites content creators, This video has 2 different commercially available parasites in it. The wasp shown is Encarsia formosa and it is stinging a stationary whitefly pupae. The aphids do not have a stationary pupa phase and the species of wasp seen parasitizing them is probably an aphidius species. Let me know if you ever need advisement on biocontrol projects! Sincerely, Chris

It's a horror movie time with the nature..
But what does the sticky plant get out of its relationship with the capsid bug? I guess it is not getting eaten but the capsid bug is not necessary for that goal... but not much else.... I think it not considered mutualism here... only the capsid bug benefits taking advantage of the blast radius of the sticky plant's defences...

Unless you've got a sterile airlock with a change of 'clean-room' clothes, there's still a chance somethin' could hitch a ride on *you.* By all means, take necessary precautions to reduce the likelihood of bringing in pests or infections (clean your clippers, have a change of gloves, etc.), but going that far is unnecessary. Bugs are a part of gardening, and managing them is a requirement. There are safe ways to manage 'em, so don't be too discouraged. To know what to do for each plant, search online for the specific plant/infestation.

And those are not aphid pupae, those are whitefly larvae and it eats those indeed. The video conflates the 2 species. Aphids are giving birth to live young and they do not have pupas...
