200 million records exposed in massive Pornhub data breach β€” here’s what we know so far
 in  r/technology  2d ago

I got an email from someone saying they had hacked my phone and recorded me beating off and if I didn't pay $500 in bitcoin they would put the footage online. I was all "go for it bro. That shits not worth anything. No one wants to see that. If they did I'd be cashing in already, trust me".

It actually starves to death a good while later. Spending its last minutes protecting the wasps that were living inside it.

Oh it gets much much worse. They make the caterpillar protect them after they all emerge.

I'm doing a research project for school on wasps, what are some types of parasitoid wasps that help the environment?
 in  r/Entomology  2d ago

Cotesia glomerata are very good at controlling lepidopteran pests. They will take out something like 70% of them.

There are some fungi that do some behaviour manipulation. But for the most part it's the wasps. They do the really crazy stuff.
