Evania appendigaster is a species of
ensign wasp, a
family of
parasitoid wasps whose
larvae are known to be
predatory on
cockroaches. However, hosts for 96% of the over 400 species are not yet known, so it is likely that more unusual
life histories exist. Ensign wasps are found
worldwide, apart from the
polar regions.Photo:
