  Am I understanding that article right? Not only is the female a parasite on a different crustacean and loses all its libs and organs until it is just a sac with tendrils snaking through its host; but the male also attaches to the female and loses all its limbs and organs until it is just a set of gonads? That’s the weirdest fucking lifecycle I’ve ever heard of.

  The females are parasites who inject themselves into a host and take over their bodies through a network of filaments, while the males are hyperparasites who inject themselves into a settled female and cease to exist as independent organisms through the degeneration of all tissues except the ones responsible for spermatogenesis.

  Life never stops amazing me, even if some things come out of the mind of a author of b-horror movie scripts.
