Do you like parasites? Or dislike them but can't stop learning about them? The worst ones are in the sea. Makes all of the parasitoid wasp stuff seem tame! There *are* worse fates than being paralyzed and fed to a hungry larvae who eats your organs selectively so you live longer. Here is a great video. It is very gross. But it's cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qZQ2wcQY3o

@futurebird Pausing the video to say, she had me at "when I used to do cetacean necropsies".Also, this reminded me that I haven't seen videos from The Octopus Lady in a while. I checked and I see I wasn't subscribed. Thought I was.Okay, back to being grossed out by parasites...
