Cystomastacoides kiddo
''Cystomastacoides kiddo'' is a species of parasitoid wasp belonging to the family Braconidae. The species was found during 2006-2008 insect collection programme in Thailand. The specific name was derived from the Quentin Tarantino's fictional character Beatrix Kiddo from the 2003/2004 Hollywood blockbuster ''Kill Bill'', because of their somewhat resemblance in action and colour patterns. It is one of the four species under the genus ''Cystomastacoides'', and the only species in Thailand. As all other braconids, the female lays its eggs inside the body of other insects, such as moth caterpillar, so that the larvae use the host body as a source of food.
==Discovery and etymology==
''Cystomastacoides kiddo'' was described from a female holotype which was discovered from Phetchabun Province, Thung Salaeng Luang National Park, Kaeng Wang Nam Yen, Thailand. The specimen was collected as part of the TIGER (Thailand Inventory Group for Entomological Research) programme of sampling insects in 25 national parks in Thailand between 2006 and 2008. The scientific description was published on 19 May 2013 by Donald L. J. Quicke of the Natural History Museum, London, and Buntika Areekul Butcher of the Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. The species was so-named "because of the deadly biology to the host" as the wasp reminded the scientists of the assassin Beatrix Kiddo (played by Uma Thurman), the protagonist in the film ''Kill Bill''. Kiddo has a fatal fighting technique called "Five Point Exploding Heart Technique" by which five pressure points are rapidly struck at the heart using fingertips, and the victim dies after five paces as the heart explodes. Although the wasp does not have the exact Five Point Exploding Heart Technique, it has an "assassin"-like move while looking for prey, and additionally its body colour is like the yellow-with-black-stripes jumpsuit of Kiddo.
