"Humming, a bee is coming," "Oh no, be careful the bee sting you!" Whenever children hear this, they often get scared. Don't worry, bees don't use their stingers randomly—they only use them when absolutely necessary. This book introduces you to the anesthetist of the insect world—the grasshopper wasp, which has unique anesthetic techniques and a stinger. When a grasshopper wasp spots its prey, it quickly uses its venomous stinger to anesthetize the opponent, 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 grasshopper wasp larvae hatch from the eggs, they can safely eat the fresh, 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—until they are completely eaten by the larvae, they remain alive and fresh. Look! There's a grasshopper wasp performing an anesthetic operation right there. Quickly join Mr. Fabre in observing the grasshopper wasp!
