dad Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 while on the river today i saw what i thought to be a recently emerged dragonfly large head double wings floating on the surface alive about 2 inches long and about the same wing span its couloration was very drab like a lavea sitting on top of its body was a very large ginger wasp looking insect appearing to sting it several times then it flew away. Any body got any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 Some wasps are parasitic and they lay their eggs in other insects. Once the egg hatches it feeds on the body of the host insect. Nature can be very cruel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
