Killer wasps are terrorizing Indonesian citizens!
A new species of killer wasp discovered on the Indonesian island Sulawesi is two-and-a-half inches long, and has jaws so vast that its discoverer admits, “I don’t know how it can walk.”
The wasps have been attacking citizens and killed over seventy people so far this year.
Leonard Lotkin, professor of entomology at the University of California, Sand Diego, says ‘Its jaws are so large that they wrap up either side of the head when closed. When the jaws are open they are actually longer than the male’s front legs.’
‘The first time I saw the wasp I knew it was something really unusual, and really terrifying,” said Lotkin.
“I had never seen anything like this species of Dalara. We don’t know anything about the biology of these wasps. They are only known from southwestern Sulawesi.”
