The wasp that can fly without a head

This wasp is able to pick up its head, which has just been sectioned, just before taking flight.

A phenomenon that mammals perceive as something amazing and even macabre, and the reason is that our nervous system, which is highly centralized, is very different from that of these insects. The wasp is a hymenoptide of the vespid family, an invertebrate whose nervous system is much more distributed than that of other animals, such as mammals.

This nervous system allows the wasp to coordinate and fly, but not for long. Without a head, inevitably, the wasp will end up dying of dehydration, logically, because it cannot feed.
