As I did not pick the unfortunate wasps, the ovaries are torn out only one at a time. This is enough to count and measure oocytes, but not for beautiful photos. But you should. Independent searches for publications on the methodology of this case were not crowned with success. Logically, it is probably necessary to cut the vagina first, but it is not clear at what level. Whether to remove the bowel beforehand and in what way: by pulling it out through the backside or after opening it. There is still a reservoir of the venomous gland interferes, and you start to pull it - the reproductive system is torn, anywhere.
