(don't panic, I don't think this multi-post thing will be a habit, but be forewarned - I'm not only about to post twice in 24 hours, but I might even post a couple in rapid succession! Zut alors!)

Yes, this really is that wack

That's just as cool as one of my favorite science stories from a year or so back ... a caterpillar that uses pheromones to trick ants into caring for its larvae, and then a wasp that uses a different pheromone to incite the ants into FULL SCALE CIVIL WAR so that it can invade the nest and lay its eggs in the caterpillar larvae.

Wow, wasps are crazy.
We must bend them to our will, and rule the world with a chitinous fist! Well, we'd at least be ruling the ants, roaches, and caterpillars.
