The insect's hip-bone segment or coxa, and legs are bright yellow in color. The frontal portion of its mesoscutum consists of a wrinkly structure with tiny studded holes, whereas the posterior half has a leather-like and wrinkly texture.[2] The wasp also has a long, flexible, needle-like organ at the rear end of its body called the ovipositor.[1] DistributionSpecimens of this wasp have been found in: Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Mexico, and Peru.[2] BehaviorThe scientists who discovered this species believe that Phanuromyia odo are egg parasitoids. These tiny creatures insert their ovipositor into the eggs of other insects, such as planthoppers and lanternflies, and lay a single wasp egg. As the wasp larva continues to grow, it consumes the host's egg from within.[1] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|last1=Pettit|first1=Harry|title=Grisly wasp that lays eggs in the larvae of other insects is named after shape-shifting Star Trek character, Odo|url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4367604/Gruesome-wasp-named-Star-Trek-character.html|website=DailyMail|publisher=MailOnline|accessdate=1 April 2017}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite journal|last1=Nesheim|first1=Katherine|last2=Masner|first2=Lubomir|last3=Johnson|first3=Norman|title=The Phanuromyia galeata species group (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae, Telonominae): shining a lantern into an unexplored corner of Neotropical diversity|journal=ZooKeys|date=27 March 2017|volume=663|pages=71–105|url=https://zookeys.pensoft.net/articles.php?id=11554&display_type=list&element_type=9|accessdate=1 April 2017|doi=10.3897/zookeys.663.11554|pmid=28769619|pmc=5523176}} 1 : Platygastridae |
