The fleas have fleas of their own. "Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em, And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad infinitum.

I use to wonder why these types of wasps haven't driven their host prey extinct. It turns out, in addition to predators and parasites of their own, the host immune system can sometimes fight off the larva.

@_JTZ_

Well that, and many of these parasitoids are so specialized they rely on a single host species. So for stochastic reasons, they can't decimate their host species to zero.

The caterpillar example is the most horrifying one of them all.

Amazing animation as always, combined with an interesting, yet unsettling topic. The best way to learn is to pair them together! And people are more likely to remember creepy topics if they have such a great animation to accompany them too.

I fell asleep to this video last night only to be woken up about a couple of hours later by a nightmare involving a huge insect, the size of a human child, trying to open my window. Thank you.

I've always had a fascination for parasitism in biology because of how strangely it works despite how disturbing it is.

Every second year I have purchased Trichogramma wasps to control the webworms in our trees. The wasps are tinier than a gnat. They do a wonderful job. They've also spread out so that our neighborhood is now webworm free. No chemicals needed.

Never been so happy to have been born a human

That tiny world out there never felt so scary.😳

This is one of the darkest corners of the natural world

Storyline and narration beats all horror movies ...!!

True.

This was more shocking than most horror movies! Kudos to the animators for ruining my dreams!

At least the parasitoid wasps get a taste of their own medicine by the hyperparasitoid wasps.

My personal favorite is the parasitic wasp of the tomato hornworm; with a few of them around, I never have to worry about checking tomato plants for hornworms.

Also, the jewel wasp has to precisely plsce the egg on the roach's body because for a small larva the roach presents something like an impenetrable armor. The only way in is through a small point on his chest. Jewel wasps are artisans of torment.

This was adorably terrifying.

As horrific as the process is, parasitoids are actually pretty good pest control. Due to their reliance on a singular host species for reproduction, they pose less risk of becoming invasive, and effectivly target the intended pest.

Cute animation plus real life horror? This is why I love TED-Ed

Me too

0:46 well that escalated quickly

I got obsessed with spider wasps when i read about parasitoidism in highschool. I even had dreams about them laying eggs in my legs. Now imagine if they decide “lets target humans because theyre bigger hosts”😂

That’s horrifying Thank you

Nature is both so beautiful and dark! Didn't think that the idea of zombie cockroaches would terrify me so much 😅

That was the shortest and most cheerful horror movie I watched!

It’s easy to tell that parasitoid wasps are one of the highest tier insects, and they parasitize many arthropods,(including other wasps), And so far in belief the only insects that don’t get targeted by parasitoid wasps are the smallest insects and, ectoparasitic maggots, Mainly for parasitic flies that attack humans,because those wasps will most likely end up being squished, before they even lay their own eggs on the parasitic maggots.

Very nice and funny animation. Best wishes to entomologists!

The animation and voice over is Top notch!

salute to those scientist who actually find all these information . Really determined persons they would be

Brilliant like usual. I was hoping for an appearance from the tarantula hawk but it's all good!

Great! A little horror movie for the whole family, but the horrors are real exactly here on planet earth.

thats very educative, never seen or heard this side of insects and parasites

These animated vesps are adorable, but lethal

They are quite helpful considering they also target pests. I have treated a Flour moth infestation with darwin wasps in the past and will do so again if those moths return. They are so small you can hardly see them so you won't even recognize them doing their work and there is no need to clean up after them since they parasitize the eggs.

This was incredibly interesting! If you don't mind me asking, how does the crypt keeper wasp make it so that the wasp it's parasiting makes a too small hole and gets stuck?

that was very disturbing thanks for sharing

Parasitoid wasps are my favourite animals! They have the superpower of mind control

I like your all different animations types

Man!!! This is So Twisted Good!

Nature is truly a fantastic horror show! 😅

Really the video is amazing

This video is incredible.

Well that was terrifyingly adorable.

Very Gruesome... I love it 😍

KID: Dad, can I watch this informative, dreary cartoon? DAD: Suuurrrreeee, have fun! Don't forget your iced tea and popcorn while watching

Honestly killing a host off after seems so wasteful… Are there any parasitoids that go out of their way to spare their victims for repeated future use?

There's a few species, but this is the best way, since they don't waste, they eat them all from the inside, basically it's an all you can eat shelter, that let you fully develop until you can defend yourself

This was entertainingly brutal... Give me more! Insect wars are so graphic! 😂🤘

This was awesome

Imagine you being so small and a wasp comes towards you.

Parasitoids are fascinating animals

Every summer I’m scared of wasps. My daughter last year in October last year it was dark evening and she was out and she sat on a log and all these wasp came out of this logs she had a lot of sting big red marks on her skin . It might of been worse if it were middle summer their very active in July and august

crazy awful survival tactic.🤮🤮 this reminds me of those parasitic birds. but then again, I live in a parasitic environment, taking care of other's children in my own house

Thx for the Arabic captions,What a great Video!.

What a beautiful horror story to haunt my nightmares!

I had to cover my eyes in the beginning 😅😅 great narrating

VERY NICE

Its just insane how life can figurè this stuff out. Just how this evolved is such a legendary story in itself. Parasitoids are amazing tbh.

so, is it possible that wasps can also do this to humans?

The invasion of the body snatchers vibes on this video.

Sounds like the movie "Alien".

Too bad we never got a sequel for A Bug's Life, titled A Bug's Death. Too dark, I suppose.

Evolution is brilliant

Just two days ago I was watching a documentary called "Evolve" and in it they said jewel wasp masses up cockroach dopamine system and since dopamine is important for movement and sansation the cockroache becomes paralyzed and btw not being able to make dopamine is also the cause of Parkinson's

I lost my sleep. Thank you 💀

To be honest I've never had problems with anything bloody or wore-y but the narrators voice really didn't help the gruesome scene that was introduced to us viewers. What a horrifying parasite

Woa another video about bugs :D

Very cute, the spider web at the end spelled out “zombie”. Lol

This is wild

Pawsome!

I’m writing a play with a character who is super into this kind of stuff, and uses it from thematic purposes. I JUST got to a parasitic wasp reference so this is perfect!

I’m going to have nightmares now

That is horrifying

What a world of danger

This just reinforces my hate for wasps 😅

Thank you for this video, the back ground music maybe a little bit too loud.

Voice made for Ted ed, wonderful british accent, I am glad I can see it more

I have seen many Wasps come and go, but none of them had the courage to bite me.

These cartoons make the subject matter even more horrific.
