This book introduces you to the anesthetist of the insect world—the grasshopper wasp. It possesses unique anesthetic techniques and a specialized stinger. When a grasshopper wasp spots its prey, it quickly uses its venomous stinger to anesthetize the target, rendering it motionless. Then, it swiftly drags the prey back to its nest, lays eggs on it, and seals the entrance before flying away. Once the wasp larvae hatch from the eggs, they can safely eat the living prey in the nest, gradually growing into adult grasshopper wasps. But how can the larvae's food be alive? This is all thanks to the mother grasshopper wasp's exceptional anesthetic skills. However, for the prey, this is an incredibly terrifying experience. They remain alive and fresh until they are completely consumed by the larvae. Look! There’s a grasshopper wasp performing an anesthetic procedure right there. Join Mr. Fabre in observing the grasshopper wasp!
