Is this how some of Europe’s descendants are immune from the Plague (viral, not bacterial. I think there were several different “Plagues”)

wasp species lay their eggs inside caterpillars, injecting toxins that paralyze the hosts and allow their young to feast on the innards with impunity.

WASP Margaret Sanger was White and has stung millions of Black babies--Planned Parenthood feasts on the graves of infants and makes merchandise of them in stem cells with impunity... the term "Brood Parasites" also describe the heterohaters, sounds like those groups have the morals of insects. God, please change their hearts and bring them to repentance.

Fascinating, that viruses can integrate into a species’ genetic code. There’s probably examples of this in a lot of other species as well. It may be that viruses are our best friend as well as our most dangerous enemies.

BEFORE they got “infected,” how did the wasps lay their eggs?

Happy Birthday, Darwin!

If bees went from no-stinger to stinger, it was doubtful it was because of a virus. More likely delinquent snot-nosed cave kids with poking sticks and fist full of rocks that gave them the need for a defensive weapon.
