The smallest flies Decapitating Head Like Ants

entomologist discovered a new type of fly has been named the world's smallest flies. The study revealed, however, had the smallest flies decapitate other small insects, ants.
Flies were found by a team of researchers who are members of Thailand Inventory Group for Entomological Research Park. His discovery, published in the journal Annals of the Entomological Society of America July 2012 edition.
Fly species found Euryplatea named nanaknihali. The fly is a member of the first Euryplatea genus found in Asia. Flies a Phoriadae clan, clan known pemenggal consists flies ants.
Brian V Brown, curator of insects at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, as quoted by The New York Times, Tuesday (07/03/2012), said, "The flies are so small that it is hard to see with the naked eye and has wings, eyes, and organ systems are complete. "
Nanaknihali Euryplatea size is only 0.4 mm. By that measure, it flies 15 times smaller than a house fly, five times more than the fruit fly, and even smaller than a grain of salt!
The flies have wings gray. As with other insects, females of this type also has an organ called an ovipositor jutting out makes it easier to lay eggs.
Euryplatea nanaknihali including parasitoid insects. Although small, this insect could decapitate ants bigger. Decapitate mechanism more complicated than imagined, not as simple as biting ants up the severed head.
As reported by LiveScience, Tuesday, parent insects will lay eggs in the ant's body. Fly eggs hatch into larvae, then migrate to the ant's head to feed the muscles used for opening and closing the mouth. The larvae will also eat ants brain. Eventually, the larvae dissolve the membrane which unites the head and body of the ant up the severed head.
"Here we show that even the smallest ant in parasitoid host system can not escape from parasitism," Brown said.
