BBC NEWS | UK | Wales | New parasite wasp species found: "A new species of parasitic wasp has been identified after it hatched on a scientist's desk.

Dr Chris Williams, who is originally from Hengoed, in south Wales, made the chance discovery while studying the life-cycle of marsh flies in Ireland.

He had been waiting for flies to hatch in jam jars when two different species of parasitic wasp emerged instead.

The eggs of the new species are laid inside fly larvae and when hatched the bug eats the maggot.

It then develops before emerging as an adult wasp."
