Talk:Emerald cockroach wasp

message: The statement that the egg hatches in the abdomen implies that the egg is laid within the host. This is not the case. The egg is laid on the outside of the underside of the abdomen of the host. I feel that it is important to clarify the relationship as ectoparasitoidic by making it clear that the larva is born outside of, and then enters, the host. Grika Ⓣ 22:10, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The phrase:
  A number of other venomous animals (wasps, spiders, snakes) which use live food for their larvae...
seems to imply that snakes feed live food to their young. AFAIK, this isn't the case (and young snakes aren't larvae). So I changed it to
  A number of other venomous animals which use live food for their larvae...
Since there is a link to venomous animals anyway, one can always follow it to have a list of such creatures. Tjunier 13:14, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I've just cleaned it up a bit and I have two points;
#Should it even be there?
#Assumeing the answer to my first point is no; I'm not sure all the sci-fi creatures listed can actually be said to resemble or be based on it. Most of them seem to have one thing in common (e.g. Headcrabs and the Flood modify behaviour in a similar, but not identical, way and xenomorphs use their hosts to protect their young and as food but don't really control them)

message: How big are the adults, how long do they live, do they sleep and if so where, what do they eat, what do the males do all day, how do they mate, how often do they lay eggs? AxelBoldt (talk) 04:11, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Data?

message: At least two populations exist, namely on the islands of Maui and Kauai.  I've personally seen them on both sides of the island of Maui, mostly on the North side (Paia) and on the South side (Wailea/Makena).  I'm curious how one would go about capturing photographs of the reproductive process.  Does anyone know what their burrow looks like? Viriditas (talk) 10:15, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As luck would have it, after hanging out for a few days around the area where I saw the wasp, and as unbelievable as it sounds, I think I got the photos.  But, I'm not yet convinced myself, so I'm going to ask Wikipedia:WikiProject Arthropods to confirm. Viriditas (talk) 10:15, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

message: there's an article Ampulex.. perhaps it should be deleted (unsigned comment)
Ampulex is the genus, the emerald cockroach wasp is a species. On the ampulex page, the first bluelinked species is this one. So no, ampulex shouldn't be deleted. 67.222.201.194 (talk) 03:26, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
