🐝Emerald cockroach wasp
Ampulex compressa är en stekel inom släktet Ampulex som har ett solitärt och parasitiskt levnadssätt. Den parasiterar på kackerlackor genom att förgifta kackerlackan och sedan använda den som en levande näringskälla till sina larver. Det beteende som stekelns gift orsakar hos kackerlackan har kallats zombie-liknande, då offret lever men lyder predatorn.
