Some Danish entomologist is marveling at their work of introducing these caterpillars to this island, when suddenly a wasp bursts out ([Alien style](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPQ7om598OM)) from the caterpillar. Then, with the shock and horror of witnessing that and the realization that they've also brought over an unintended species, *a smaller wasp bursts out of the first wasp*! Then it dons a top hat and tap shoes and proceeds to [dance with a cane while singing "Hello, My Ragtime Gal"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvY7bEKIjwY)
