Parasite tales: The jewel wasp's zombie slave - Carl Zimmer (2013x30)

Udgivelsesdato: Jan 28, 2013

This is stranger than science fiction. The jewel wasp and the cockroach have a disgusting and fascinating parasitic relationship. The jewel wasp stuns the cockroach, and months later, a jewel wasp hatches out of the cockroach. At TEDYouth 2012, Carl Zimmer walks us through how this happens and why it personally fascinates him.
