Is this satisfactory? It's a reference to the well-known defense of Japanese honeybees, hundreds of which swarm around an individual giant hornet to overheat her.

Speaking of bees, the nematode parasite Sphaerularia is quite interesting. Exclusively targeting the overwintering queens of bumblebees and wasps, this tiny worm's soil-dwelling infective form is as normal as nematodes go - but upon entering a suitable host, its entire reproductive system turns inside out and the uterus transforms into a massive, tubercle-covered tentacle, well-suited for obtaining nutrients from the host's hemolymph and easily reaching several times the size of the worm itself (such that it is quite easy to miss the worm and think the uterus to be the nematode.) This blood-drinking tentacle-womb then grows until it fills the young queen's entire abdomen (at which point it may be about 15000 times larger than the worm) and alters her behavior so that she cannot found a nest - even the development of ovaries is prevented in the case of hornets.

You could think of it as being the little hornet and having your virginity taken by a tiny Sphaerularia girl - I suppose she'd barely measure about ten inches, but her uterine tentacle would be much longer than herself and would easily be able to reach deep inside your small body, so that you can enjoy the knobs on the surface of her uterus pressing against the your own womb until you both reach orgasm in unison (come to think about it, I've never seen a depiction of womb-in-womb intercourse.) Since Sphaerularia does not grow after finding a host and prevents the host herself from growing further, you'd then be able to stay as little girls as much as you'd like, enjoying each day as lovers and sleeping every night with the warm weight of her small body on top of you (as she'd be too small to properly hug you, I guess she'd wrap her uterine tentacle around you to show her love before going to sleep.)

Honeybees are quite used to this technique, actually - it's also used to heat the hive during colder winter days and the defense might have been derived from this behavior. They can also do the reverse, using their wings as fans to cool down the hive.

Though when it comes to wasps, I am particularly fond of Allochares azureus, a peculiar wasp that preys on spiders, as is usual fare for many wasps. What is unusual is that the wasp enters the spider's web (a dangerous affair even for spider-hunting wasps), finds the spider, paralyzes it and entangles it back in its own web - this prevents ants and the like from making a meal out of both the spider and the wasp's eggs and gives off the impression that the poor spider got caught in its own trap. The wasp is also unable to recognize spiders by sight (physical contact is necessary), generally hunts in dark crevices likely to host suitable spiders and seems quite reluctant to fly, so I like to imagine it as a near-blind shut-in onee-san with glasses, who'd be gentle and inactive until she finds a loli spider girl she likes, whereupon the poor monstergirl would awaken to find herself bound in her bed with her own web and the wasp girl on top of her, and the latter would reveal to her that she's a lesbian BDSM enthusiast.

Those fights are the main reason I'm terrified of Jerusalem crickets, I thought they were peaceful insects that occasionally took live prey until I saw one of them eat the chelicerae of a live solifugid in a cage match. I wish they had a millipede instead of centipede, though - while centipedes have their first pair of legs modified into venomous fangs, millipedes one-up them by having defensive glands that spray cyanide, eating at arthropod cuticles (and human skin - there's a case where a millipede attacked a 8 year old girl's genitalia; the girl was at first thought to be subjected to sexual abuse until the culprit was discovered.) with remarkable ease.
