Stylops

Stylops[1] is a genus of obligately endoparasitic insects in the family Stylopidae.

[2] Males are 2–3 mm long and black with white wings.

Females have no limbs and are only seen from their head and thorax poking out of the host bee.

The larvae then attach to other bees in order to be carried back to the nest.
