The female stings the beetle grub to paralyse it, so it cannot move. Its venom is used on prey, not as a defence for people. The sting paralyses the beetle grub so the wasp's larva can feed on it.1
Ine ngozi yakadii kuvanhu?
Ngozi kuvanhu: Ngozi shomaSenyuchi kubaya kana kushoma. Kazhinji haina ngozi kuvanhu.
Kana ikabaya
- Bvisa rumbori rwenyuchi nekurikwenya, wotonhodza panzvimbo iyoyo.
- Kana munhu achinetseka kufema, chiso kana huro zvichizvimba, kana achinzwa kunge ofenda, ndiyo njodzi yeallergy: fonera nhamba yechimbichimbi uye shandisa pen yake yeadrenaline kana anayo.
Gara uchitanga wafonera nhamba yechimbichimbi (112, 000, 911). Iri izano rakajairika rerubatsiro rwekutanga, kwete zano rechiremba. Zvakakosha zverubatsiro rwekutanga
Gara wakachengeteka
- Usambobata mhuka yesango, kuedza kuitora kana kuinetsa, kunyange iri diki, uye kunyange ichiita seyakarara kana yakafa.
- Ipa nzvimbo. Kana ukasangana nayo, dzikama, dzokera shure zvishoma nezvishoma uirege iende nenzira yayo.
- Kana imwe ikakubaya: dzikama, gara wakanyarara, fonera nhamba yechimbichimbi (112, 000, 911) kana kuti enda kuchipatara nokukurumidza. Rangarira kuti yaitaridzika sei, mufananidzo unobatsira.

Chokwadi
It is the largest wasp found in Europe.1
It is a parasitoid: its young develop by feeding on another insect, a beetle grub, which dies in the process.1
Some researchers suggest it was the model for a gold Minoan pendant called the Malia Pendant.1
The European rhinoceros beetle is its main host, but it also lays eggs on the grubs of several other beetles, including the European stag beetle.1
