Description
Tremex are a fascinating group of wasps known for their wood-boring larvae. Unlike the common fear of wasps as aggressive stingers, Tremex wasps are relatively benign to humans, focusing their energy on laying eggs in deciduous trees. What's intriguing is how the larvae partner with a specific fungus, which they carry in special organs, to break down the tough wood, making it digestible.
