    A parasitic wasp, family Ichneumonidae, oviposits in grass seeds in Wisconsin, USA. Her target is not the grass itself, but other insect eggs and larvae hidden within. When she finds a suitable host, she will lay her eggs in or around the doomed eggs or larvae, which will hatch and devour them.
