I like 5 seconds ago when I didn’t know this existed.
You know, I was just thinking what a horrible day it is to have eyes…
Why does it injest eggs off of the grass if the adult injects them into another’s throat? Other than that, dope.
Also what’s the point of the adult emerging when it’s already reproduced? How is there any selection pressure to do that
Poor OP, everyone is questioning the validity of this horn parasites reproductive strategies. The post is quite funny and I’m using it in a session lol
That’s enough internet for today.
Days just getting started.
Consider this today’s amuse bouche.
It wouldn’t inject eggs into a new host of the same species, it would either directly lay new eggs or find another species to inject. Maybe the only can be approached by a virgin thing is just them seeking out a healthy human host…
He horse is not the same species as the “unicorn” which is the horn-worm itself
This doesn’t explain how the eggs got on the grass strands in the first place.
That thing is constantly pooping out eggs
Adding this to my d&d group
How do the eggs get onto the grass?
If a parasite starts its cycle in the grass then ends its cycle in the grass.
Study your biology kidsTen minutes after I first pick up my phone and my day is already ruined. Thanks Lemmy!
I love how the horse getting a horn straight in to it’s neck looks just really annoyed. Not anguished from the horrific injury, not fury in the heat of mortal combat, just like sick of his coworker’s stupid shit.
