Dementor Wasp facts
While investigating facts about Dementor Wasp, I found out little known, but curios details like:
A species of wasp, Ampulex dementor, is named after the Dementor. This name was chosen to reflect the fact that the wasp uses a toxin to neutralise the neural behaviour of cockroaches and make them docile, as if their souls had been sucked out.
The "dementor wasp," called Ampulex dementor, which injects a toxin into cockroaches that leave them alive but without a will of their own, yet still mobile enough that they can run right into the wasp's nest to be conveniently devoured
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 5 of the best facts about Dementor Wasp I managed to collect.
