Giant Ichneumon

The ichneumon wasp (pronounced: ick-new-men) has a special kind of "tail" that is used like a drill, not a stinger.

The wasp drills a hole deep into the wood close to where a wood-eating insect is tunneling. Then, the wasp lays an egg in the hole.

When the egg hatches, the young wasp will eat the wood-eating insect.
