“There’s a kind of wasp that lays its eggs inside insect larvae,” she said. “When the egg hatches, a baby wasp grows, just as the insect grows around it. Over time, the wasp eats the insect from the inside. Eventually the insect dies, and the adult wasp finds another host to lay its own eggs in.” “Stop it,” said Amanda. “Stop it, that’s horrible.” Evadne turned to her. “No, it’s not. That wasp is part of the natural world. Hill House isn’t. You and your friends need to leave. Now, before it’s full dark.”
