For example, regard the beautiful emerald jewel wasp. The wasp paralyzes and zombifies cockroaches to lay an egg on the abdomen of the unsuspecting insects. When the egg hatches, the wasp larva emerges and eventually eats its way into the belly of the roach. The larva then pupates inside the cockroach, building a cocoon and eventually emerging as a grown wasp. So if I understand what you're saying, the wasp is The Won (he's not very WASPy), and America is the cockroach?

Gregor Samsa was not so lucky as we are.
He awoke one morning to discover he had been transformed into a giant cockroach.

There are regular Roaches and House Roaches. Regular Roaches hate the House Roaches. Is there a move afoot for reparations?

Oh my...in the translation i read, it said “Cockroach”. Since I don’t speak German, I just trusted the translator.
Just goes to show, doesn’t it?

What does the wasp do once it is full grown as it lives inside the cockroach.

Kind of sounds like what the progressives are doing to Western Civilization only they’ve done it over a hundred and fifty year period and full-blown hereditary tyranny is about is about the re-emerge.

It’s a cover, don’t you see? The Mossad has been accused of using all short of animals to spy on their neighbors, so why not a wasp? /S
