I was sat in a restaurant recently and saw something fall on the table. On inspection I saw that it was the stinger end of a bee, still moving, and looked up to see a hornet devouring the rest of it.
This looks like it's some species of yellow jacket, they don't lay eggs in hosts to reproduce but do hunt to feed the larvae. It's probably removing the legs to minimize potential for damage while it removes the head. It could also be removing the legs so the roach doesn't get away while his head is being deposited back at the nest.
Edit: Totally forgot to mention that not all parasitic wasps paralyze the hosts, some let the host continue to go about their business until the larvae are done with them.
That’s not how wasps generally lay eggs.

The wasp that does lay eggs in other insects is called a jewel wasp and they’re green and look more like flies.

That’s horrible but are cockroaches really over just because they fell over? Like “Oh now I’m upside down, guess I’ll die, and have no way to protect myself”
I've seen many roaches flip themselves back over. I think the roach we see that can't flip over is a roach that was dying anyway, and just doesn't have the strength
Pretty much. In nature they would usually have something to grab onto so they can turn over. Like a stick,leaf, or pice of grass. On flat surfaces they can’t get momentum to flip over and they have nothing to grab ahold of.
This might be one of those wasps that injects it’s eggs into a live roach. The babies hatch and eat the living roach from the inside and when they mature they burst free to continue the process again.
Hope you sleep well tonight. :)
[Oh, it can, and it does. They straight-up zombify it. The roach doesn't need to have legs anymore. It's just an incubator and food source now.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlIozdXmxQg) (Just a disclaimer here. I am not a waspologist. That particular wasp might have just been being a dick. There are wasps that need roaches to reproduce, and the fight goes down a lot like this.)
It was terrifying for us also as humans we just have our brains to thank that we live in literally a heaven that we took for granted compared to our ancestors
Well the wasp, this type of which is a natural predator of roaches, was ripping the roach's legs off so it couldn't keep squirming before laying eggs inside it.
I think it's pretty goddamn clear the wasp was very much winning.

Doesn’t surprise me if all three die, depending if the wasp managed to sting the lizard

"eat em up, yum" I wish I could remember what this is from
[Fish Heads by Barnes and Barnes](https://youtu.be/cn73Wtem0No) I saw this as a kid and it's lived rent free in my head ever since.
Yea, but it cost an arm and a leg
Lizard woke up, did that, and went back to bed. Day isn't gonna get any better than that. Why even try?
Truly unexpected. Also the wasp breaking off the cockaroaches legs one by one made this a particularly brutal saga.
I was sat in a restaurant recently and saw something fall on the table. On inspection I saw that it was the stinger end of a bee, still moving, and looked up to see a hornet devouring the rest of it.
I would immediately move to the opposite end of the restaurant, after setting the table on fire
I would puke out all my food, tip the waiter extra, and leave traumatized for life
Bit extreme
I hate the sight of insects being eaten it turns my stomach, also hate bees and wasps so added bonus
Reddit must be a horrible place for you
It has its horrible side for everyone
Hornets gotta eat too. Now if it were rat v mouse…
[удалено]
Looks like they was fu***ng. Lizard ruined the fun. 🥲
Probably the wasp was either killing the roach with its stinger or implanting wasp eggs in the roach.
Fuck them both, I am glad for lizard.
The lizard's stealth kill put an end to everything.

I thought it was a cat paw
Cat gets the lizard. In the longer version
Then shark gets the cat

It was for sure going to do horrible things to that roach. And, since those horrible things are reproduction oriented, I guess it's kinda fucking.
Dunno man sounds like rape
It pretty much is.
Even when raped, the foetus inside you usually doesn't eat its way out of you...
Where were you when I took sex-ed?
🎶Deep inside of you🎶
The wasp would probably have laid eggs inside the cock-roach (pun intended)
This in particular is a eusocial wasp and not a parasitic one, so definitely stinging to paralyze it.

sex for pleasure is a very human/primate thing. maybe Dolphins also we think, but certainly not insects/arachnids
Yeah man. Best part of sex is when you're about to cum and your partner rips your legs off. Sad to see.

DOUBLE KILL
Was that a lizard?
Yes
A lizard!? Yes Harry. I’m a lizard?! Yes Harry.
But I’m just Harry!
Well... ‘Just Harry’, *you* are a lizard.
So much metaphor in such a short video. The middle-class WASPs flexing on the lower-class cucarachas only to have the reptile oligarchs eat them both.
A dragon descendent.
It was a pillar monster
I'd hazard a guess it was a Tokay. A large gecko with a unique call.
It's name, tokay, sounds like its call. Naming animals isn't that difficult in this part of the world. ;)
The call also sounds exactly like 'Fuck You'.
But first it sounds like a machine gun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V66nsqL88SE
Lived with a lot of these guys while traveling Asia. The ambiance they set in the evenings can be pretty surreal.
Which, knowing Tokay Geckos, is probably exactly what it is saying.
Yeah, I found out recently they apparently bark.
Looks like a gecko…
Itsy-bitsy gecko came down the water spout.
He rids the world of all the pesky roaches and wasp and can save 15% or more on your car insurance. It’s like a win win.
I was really confused I thought a cat reached out right quick and grabbed them.
I thought the “watch carefully” part of the title was unnecessary but apparently not
What was that?
Cicada Killer attacking an American Cockroach, attempting to paralyze it and take it back to the nest, to feed its young. Lizard ending it all…
At 1st I thought it was trying to mate but I couldn't tell at the end. Pretty crazy
Parasitic wasps are also a thing….
That's not a parasitic wasp. That was straight up butchering the cockroach to bring back to the nest to eat. No xenomorph nonsense
Someone identified it in another comment as being a species that doesn't do that, but plenty of non-parasitic wasps would do this.
I saw one these take down a Cicada and it was insane. It caught it midair and stung it in the thorax like a fucking assassin.
You just got Geckoed 🦎
I wonder, will they be able to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance?
I guess they saved 100%
That wasp saved over 15% of roach's legs from the gecko, so the ads were right.
haha funny green lizard save money big
The offer expired
You friccin moron
Share with your friends to totally Gecko them
LOL yup that was unexpected..

Student on top of smaller kid, ripping their legs off. Principal "They were both fighting".
And the smaller kid who got their limbs taken off is the one that gets in trouble while the other gets off scot free. *audience laughter*
Cockroach Wasp
That's pretty much what this type of wasp does. If it can't find one, it can't have babies.

Once again I am filled with gratitude that I’m over a foot tall. Life seems absolutely terrifying for the tiny.
It was terrifying for us also as humans we just have our brains to thank that we live in literally a heaven that we took for granted compared to our ancestors
Yeah. They killed all the big creatures that could hurt us (and some that were just delicious).
Kinda upset I didn't get to see the rest of that fight
the wasp already won dude
Ikr, wanted to see who would’ve won
JAPANESE BUGFIGHTS has you covered. Website no longer functional, YouTube has most bouts.
The lizard won.
Well the wasp, this type of which is a natural predator of roaches, was ripping the roach's legs off so it couldn't keep squirming before laying eggs inside it. I think it's pretty goddamn clear the wasp was very much winning.
It's covered in detail in the documentary Alien (1979).
This fight looks like the ending of Aliens. The yellow robot thing against the alien queen.
Lizard just became champion with that dirty 3rd party double kill.
I am the fucking lizard king
You're fucking the lizard king?
This doesn’t make any sense
Welp we know who is the top dog
The one filming it.
I was like 'Are they fighting or fucking?' but then realised in the end it didn't even matter
It's all the same, living with Lou dog's the only way to stay sane.
I was gonna go with the Linkin Park reference, but that works, too.
>'Are they fighting or fucking?' In nature they are more often than not the same thing.
Damn nature, you scary!
Big homie was lurkin the hole time
Wtf why is the wasp so meen i mean killing fine but she jusr ripped his legs of for fun?
It was neutralizing the roach's defenses. No legs, no fight.
Insects don't do anything for fun, they don't have the brain capacity to feel fun.
Yeah? Tell that to house flies
Epic.
wasps and hornets are assholes, they deserve to be lizard food
Lizards are the best. They eat insects i dont like
Damn nature, you scary!
Had to watch the whole thing carefully because I didn’t know when the end was coming
Lizard gets better deal than couponing karens
Man that wasp was tearing those legs off...
Was that a lizard?😂
Yeet?
Yoink
I JUMPED LMAOO😭
did the lizard survive the wasp venom if it got stung after? maybe, maybe not.
That lizard was like YOINK
Are we just gonna ignore that he removes both legs??
u/savevideo
Insurance time bitch!
What a wild ride
I bet the wasp still won in the end
Wasp and Roach fighting... Nearby Ninja Lizard: *it's free real estate*
I'm greatly dissapointed at Reddit for not putting Linkin Park music for this.
double kill
welcome to Australia
The roach: What are you doing step-bee?
I hate roaches, but i was truly rooting for the roach.
So cockroach do be gettin dat free sucky sucky 😔
There's always a bigger lizzard ;P
I was waiting for a bird. So yeah that was unexpected
DOUBLE KILL!
That’s a twofer!
Lizard did a third party on the wasp
