For example, have you heard of the emerald cockroach wasp? This shiny green Island dweller is kind of pretty--but don't be fooled. A parasitic wasp, it preys on another Hawai'i inhabitant: cockroaches. First, the wasp stabs the roach with venom that turns it into a walking zombie. Then the wasp grabs the roach's antennae and guides it--like a teensy dog on a leash--back to her burrow. She lays eggs on the roach, eggs that soon burrow into the roach's immobilized body and feast on its innards A former staffer at Honolulu magazine, Kathryn Drury Wagner researched everything from whale poop to flesh-eating caterpillars, from how to make a sea cucumber edible to why you should never, ever whistle at night. Supernatural chickens? Check. Tub-licking ghosts? Yep. And hey, did you know a gecko can hang upside down using only one toe? Wagner has created an odd and quirky book, chockfull of wacky facts guaranteed to satisfy the thirstiest of minds.
