Cuckoo Wasp
Cuckoo Wasps shine like flying jewels with their metallic blue, green, and sometimes red bodies. These wasps have unusually thick exoskeletons that protect them when they sneak into other wasps’ nests to lay eggs. Their bodies reflect light in ways that create an almost holographic appearance as they move. Despite their beauty, they lead parasitic lives. Their larvae consume the young of other wasp species after hatching.
