Wasps inject their eggs into Drosophila larvae. The eggs mature in the larva, consuming the latter. But some larvae are able to escape such a fate by killing the wasp eggs + they can pass the abilities too!

@AxisBank @AxisBankSupport Update - Just now I received another service request number but without any solution yet again. @AxisBank @AxisBankSupport your work flow is highly inefficient and it is going on and on… I have lost all hopes that my issue be resolved..

Frustrated with axis bank customer care. Called 8 times since 21st Nov. Every time a new reference no is given for the same problem with assurance but no solution provided. Worst ever experience!!! @AxisBank @AxisBankSupport

Nothing has happened yet and tomorrow is the date of payment!!! My CBIL is getting spoiled due the careless attitude of Axis bank officials… such a pathetic state of affairs!!! @AxisBank @AxisBankSupport
