This praying mantis was submerged in water, and what emerged from its body left everyone shocked. The long black string is a horsehair worm, a parasite that can grow several times longer than its host. Even more disturbing, it can control the insect’s behavior, forcing it into water so the worm can escape and continue its life cycle. #NatureIsWild #CreepyScience #ParasiticLife #MindControl | Tara Cosmetics

🪱 The Parasite That Controls a Praying Mantis’ Mind Horsehair worms (Chordodes formosanus) hijack a mantis from the inside out. Step 1: Larvae burrow in and take over the nervous system. Step 2: They make the mantis leap into water. Step 3: Once submerged, the worm exits and finishes its life cycle in the water.
