Unguasilus ("claw-fly") were a type of wasp that sacrificed themselves for their young, a trait not commonly found in insects.
Facts[]
Females laid parasitic eggs on their mate's thorax. The eggs then drained their father for nutrition through his porous exoskeleton. On hatching, the larvae slowly ate their father alive until they pupated in his dry husk and emerge as miniature versions of the fully grown wasp.

Trivia[]
- Like all animals from Skull Island. It is unknown what they faced during the sinking of the island. Given the multiple expeditions, there may be a chance that a few surviving populations was saved off-land to a more stable enclosure.
