cuckoo waspnounA wasp which lays its eggs in the nest of a bee or another kind of wasp, in particular:- A ruby-tailed wasp. A true wasp lacking a worker caste, whose larvae are fed by the social wasp host (several species in the family Vespidae, including Vespula austriaca)..
We investigate the interaction with a specialised cuckoo wasp whose larvae kill the beewolf larvae....- Should the bee return whilst the cuckoo-wasp is still present, the cuckoo wasp curls up into a tight ball.
- The cuckoo wasp eggs develop into males and fertile females only - no cuckoo wasp workers are produced.
