woah can you tell me more about the transformers infection au cause I also have something similar to that except there was a bad virus that was inserted into the gamer geeks causing them to malfunction and infect other bots

It's not really a transformers botbots au

Warning: I'll be listing many parasites, if you feel uncomfortable please don't look it up

But I thought that an infection au of earth like parasites like the leucochloridium paradoxum, cordyceps, cymothoa exigua, horsehairworms, ichneumon wasps, etc.

Yeah a lot of parasites, thank goodness it ain't in the botbots, I would never do that

Why is he named psycho mantis. (IDEK WHO PSYCHO MANTIS IS OR WHAT THEYRE FROM BUT I LIKE BUGS AND CREECHERS LIKE MANTIDS SO I FIGURED ID ASK)

Reason he’s called “psycho”: is psychic and also might experience psychosis unless I’m lying

Reason he’s called “mantis”: he thinks of his psychic powers and also his mental illness as a parasite in his brain that controls him, so his coworkers went “oh haha well praying mantises also have parasites that control them #horsehairworm” and so that’s how he got the nickname mantis

#HAIII BTW GOOD TO SEE U!!! I READ UR JUNEDOVE FIC A WHILE BACK AND REMEMBER LIKING IT #there’s more but those r the most canon-strict answers #jknah tambles #asks

#Gordioidea sp. #horsehairworm #Gordianworm #ハリガネムシ #Hierodula_patellifera giant #Asianmantis #Indochinamantis #Harabiromantis #mantis #ハラビロカマキリハリガネムシは水中で孵化して水生昆虫に寄生する。宿主が陸に上がりハラビロカマキリに捕食されると成長し、カマキリの行動に影響を与えて、水に入るように操作する。これはその途中で事故にあい、カマキリが死んでしまったために体外へ脱出し、そのまま乾燥、固化して息絶えた姿。宿主の脳に影響する寄生のあり方を不気味と感じるのは当然だが、人類が家畜や栽培植物にしていることを外部寄生あるいは労働寄生として解釈するなら、可愛いものだともいえる。 (総社緑地) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF35XhMAI0K/?igshid=p545v22fs8lo

Multiple parasitic horsehair worms emerging from their host, a cricket. Literally the closest thing to satan.

#Repost @micro_creatures @download.ins --- Horror movie! 🍿Apparently I missed 2 in 1 ad 😂 Buy 1 animal, get second for free. That white thing inside - a horsehair worm. It parasitizes on invertebrates. (big exhale, we are in the clear). . Horsehair worms, that have land invertebrates as their hosts, are puppeteers. They infect the brain. This causes the host insect to seek water and drown itself, thus returning the nematomorph to water. If the host is eaten by larger predator, the worm does not mind much. It is able to wiggle out of the predator. . Fascinating and awful, right? 😜 . Смотрим ужастик! 🍿 Похоже я пропустила рекламу 2 в 1. Купи одно животное, получи второе бесплатно. Это белое внутри - червь Нематоморф, паразитирует на беспозвоночных (не к нам, не к нам, выдохнули). . Виды этих червей, паразитирующие на наземных беспозвоночных - жуткие кукловоды. Представьте вместо креветки кузнечика. Червь инфицирует мозг, и, когда нематоморфу приходит время уходить «в свободное плавание», кузнечик радостно топится в ближайшем водоеме. А если кузнечика съедят, тоже не беда, червь найдет выход. . Жутко и завораживающе 😜 . Аквариумный народ, чем бьете сине-зеленые водоросли? Чищу, лью перекись.
