My favorite part was the casually mentioned fact at the beginning that these maggots have already been doing this to other hymenopterids for a long time.

God, imagine being the first year grad student painting those rfid chips individually on thousands of bees' backs.

Also this is horrifying.

"As scientists we're trained to be cool and analytical in the way that we look at data and look at the natural world, but fuuuuuuuuck me ashfhfgjhfhfgjh...*rapid hand wave motions*"

Fucking bees can't catch a break.

It's the circle of life! Parasites rule.
