grasshoppers parasitic hairworm

Back


I stepped on this bug and this hairworm came out of it. It's a Nematomorpha or hairworm. You can see the thing come out of a cricket/grasshopper on youtube "alien parasites" or on wikipedia lookup Nematomorpha or hairworm. The external links on the bottom have some cool videos. When I stepped on this sick grasshopper, it came coiling out just like on utube alien parasites. It got the torch when we were done!
