    I can already guess that it’s a parasite that takes control of the hosts body. truly is the worst type of parasite

      It also crawls into the snail’s eyestalks and starts dancing in the snail’s eyes

    Trust me. You don’t want to know. It’s fucked up parasite shit. On the same level as the fungus that takes over ants.

    It’s a parasite that causes snails to get to higher places and get eaten by birds where it reproduces in their digestive system.

    The snail has been taken over by parasitic flatworms that control it to seek out exposed spots and pulsate inside of their eye stalks to get eaten by a bird and enter the next stage of their life cycle, which they spend by living in the birds cloaca and spreading their eggs via feces.

      Are the birds negatively affected by the wormies?

  Guys am I the one not getting it or being insensitive toward the snails or is this just the classical “mildly alters behavior of intermediate host in order to spread to host more easily” again?

      The GIF is interesting, fun and disturbing, and so is the article if you scroll further. Highly recommended read.

      I may just have became desensitized to these things over the years, but if I could choose between having my eyes plucked out and dying I’d certainly choose the former, and that’s not even with my eyes being capable of regenerating.

      Also the boogie-woogie they do is very grotesque but it’s not particularly scary either for me.
