The Allpahuayo-Mishana National Reserve in Peru, where the discovery was made, is considered the most biodiverse rainforest in the world. In recent decades, scientists have identified several new bird species there, and in the late 1980s it was documented as having the highest number of tree species in a single area.
Discovery of the parasitic wasp Capitojoppa
This time, biologists from the University of Turku in Finland described an entirely new species and genus of insect in the reserve, which they called Capitojoppa. They belong to the subfamily Ichneumoninae, i.e. parasitic wasps of the order Hymenoptera.
Echo Richards embodies a personality that is a delightful contradiction: a humble musicaholic who never brags about her expansive knowledge of both classic and contemporary tunes. Infuriatingly modest, one would never know from a mere conversation how deeply entrenched she is in the world of music. This passion seamlessly translates into her problem-solving skills, with Echo often drawing inspiration from melodies and rhythms. A voracious reader, she dives deep into literature, using stories to influence her own hardcore writing. Her spirited advocacy for alcohol isn’t about mere indulgence, but about celebrating life’s poignant moments.
