Read the passage and then answer the question.

Question

There are nearly thirty thousand different species of wasps. Wasps come in myriad colors, everything from the familiar yellow-and-black to metallic blue. Some are solitary species that live without the benefit of a colony or group. Others, like yellow jackets and hornets, are social insects, meaning that they live in colonies and build large communal nests. Each species has its own unique characteristics.
One newly discovered species, a reddish-black wasp native to Thailand, is notable for the way it hunts cockroaches. First, it injects venom into a cockroach to incapacitate it. Then the wasp drags the paralyzed cockroach back to its nest and lays eggs in its body. With time, larvae hatch from the eggs and consume the cockroach's body. This disturbing practice inspired the name Ampulex dementor, reflecting the wasps' similarity to the soul-sucking dementors in the Harry Potter book series.
