Deinoglossidae

## Description

The deinoglossids descend from a clade of kentrodonts that manage to invade the western continent. They’ve evolved parasitoidy, laying their eggs on or in the bodies of scandopods to serve as living incubators. To do this, they employ one of two strategies. Some deinoglossids are endoparasitoid, which bite the scandopod host and simultaneously pierce its skin with a sharp ovipositor to inject the eggs into its body. After it’s been parasitized, the host continues its life normally, but once the young hatch, they feed on the host’s insides, which eventually kills it, and the young emerge as independent juveniles. Other deinoglossids are ectoparasitoids that bite onto the scandopod and deliver a paralytic venom, before depositing their eggs onto the scandopod’s skin (their eggs are tiny and suspended in a sticky fluid to glue them onto the host). The scandopod stays immobilized until the eggs hatch, at which point the young kill and eat it. Some of these ectoparasitoids may create a sort of nest to store the paralyzed host while the eggs develop, maybe hidden among some chromatophytes or other vegetation. They also have shorter ovipositors than the endoparasitoids without any barb at the tip, since they don’t have to pierce the scandopod’s skin.
