I recently discovered the existence of hyperparasitoid wasps much to the delight of my entomologist friend. That these things fly and have working nervous system (apparently ditching the neuronal nuclei during metamorphosis?), the ability to navigate etc. continues to blow my mind. They are so tiny!

Wow! At that size, I wonder if it's even technically still flying, or more like swimming through a thick Brownian motion soup.
