These Insects are Smaller than a Single Cell...How?!

Fairy flies, a group of tiny wasps, are fascinating due to their extreme miniaturization. Despite their small size, they maintain complex organ systems. Adaptations include simplified body structures, reduced visual acuity, and unique wing designs. Their cellular and neural systems are highly condensed, with some neurons lacking nuclei. Fairy flies are parasitoids, laying eggs in other insects' eggs, aiding in pest control. Studying them may reveal insights into miniaturization and inspire technological advancements.
