What does the Evania Appendigaster do?
The Evania appendigaster wasp, far from being feared, should be viewed with respect, as it helps us control cockroaches. The female lays an egg in the cockroach's ootheca from which a whitish larva emerges. This larva devours the cockroach eggs that form the ootheca.

That is a nice picture! These are commonly called Ensign wasps, and they look pretty weird. I don't think I've seen one.
