Reminds of something I read in a Lyall Watson book (although I will freely admit I may have dreamt it) about one stage in the life cycle of a particular type of liver fluke. In order to get into a sheep to enter the next phase, it gets into an ant. It attatches itself to the base of whatever-passes-for-the-brain, and gets the ant to climb to the top of a blabe of grass, bite onto the end, and... wait for a sheep. The natural world never ceases to amaze/scare the crap out of me. That is so wrong, it’s coming out the other side of wrongness and entering the fertile territory of the truly disturbing.
