As the reproductive larvae consume its insides, the soldiers kill the other parasitoids.

的繁殖性幼虫会吃掉毛毛虫的身体，卫兵幼虫会杀死他拟寄物。

This was just a peek into the prolific province of parasitoid wasps.

这只是拟寄的“丰功伟绩”中的几件。

Parasitoids feed off other animals as they develop, usually killing their hosts in the process.

拟寄物在成长的过程中以他动物为食，通常会在此过程中杀死寄主。

Others are hyperparasitoids, whose victims are other parasitoid wasps.

有些还是“超寄物”，寄在他拟寄身上。

Though much remains unknown, some researchers suspect that parasitoid wasps are among the most diverse animal groups — perhaps the most diverse.

虽然未解之谜有很多，但是有些研究者怀疑拟寄是最多样化的动物种群之一，也有可能就是最多样化的那一个。

Mm. If it makes you feel any better, a parasitoid wasp known as Oobius depressus has been rediscovered after 101 years of presumed extinction.

假如这能让你好受点的话一种称为Oobius depressus的寄被认定101年前就灭绝了但最近被重新发现了。

Those hairs are thought to have evolved as a way to protect the caterpillars against predators and maybe against parasitoids that wanna lay their eggs inside the caterpillar's body.

这些毛被认为是作为一种保护毛虫的方式而进化的，以抵御捕食者，也可能抵御那些想在毛虫体内产卵的寄虫。

Those hairs are thought to have evolved as a way to protect the caterpillars against predators and maybe against parasitoids that wanna lay their eggs inside the caterpillar's body.

Weiss：人们认为，这些毛发的进化是为了保护毛虫免受捕食者的侵害，或许还能抵御想在毛虫体内产卵的拟寄物。

Either the host is paralyzed or it continues to feed and breathe in and live relatively normally but with this parasitoid thing, living and growing inside it and eventually of course it kills the host.

要么宿主瘫痪了，要么它继续进食和呼吸并相对正常地活，但有了这种寄虫，在它体内活和长，最终它当然会杀死宿主。
