Outstanding meme. Cool fact is that the wasps inject their eggs along side a virus, which specifically turns off the manduca's immune system for a bit. It then allows the immune system to turn back on. Since the eggs have been in there during the immune reboot, they're considered 'self' and not attacked by the immune system
