🪱 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. Wild, right? 😳 Imagine what they can do to YOU. ➡️ If you want to get these little mind-control critters out of your life, comment DEWORM and I’ll send you my parasite-cleansing basics

Parasite worm (Chordodes formosanus) inside a mantis... "When mature, the worm secretes proteins that take over the host’s nervous system. It directs the mantis to a body of water and causes it to jump in so that the worm can be excreted" Source: https://goo.gl/TbLkJh Read more: https://goo.gl/fnRPg0 & https://goo.gl/Szhpc1 | Natural Selection

YouTubeVeterinary Studies
Mantises can be hosts for parasitic horsehair worms, which manipulate them to drown themselves. These worms, like Chordodes formosanus, live in the mantis's gut and, upon maturity, induce the mantis to enter water, where the worms can be excreted and continue their lifecycle. The worms are known to hijack the mantis's nervous system, causing it to be attracted to water, and some studies suggest they may even transfer genes from the mantis to manipulate its behavior.#viral #mindblown #interesting

CienciaMania on Instagram: "El gusano Chordodes formosanus o crin de caballo comienza su vida en el agua como una diminuta larva. Entra en insectos como grillos o mantis al beber agua contaminada y crece dentro de ellos durante semanas. Cuando madura, libera químicos que alteran su sistema nervioso, obligando al insecto a lanzarse al agua. Allí, el gusano sale del cuerpo, el huésped muere… y el ciclo vuelve a comenzar. ¿lo sabias?"
