Fun fact: Horsehair worms are harmless to humans, but parasitic to certain insects. These worms are notorious for their ability to mind control their insect hosts, like crickets for instance!

The worms then exit out their host’s exoskeleton through holes. Another fun fact, horsehair worms can grow up to 2 feet long. 🌈🪱 Video of horsehair wor

This striking behavior is a well-documented example of parasitic control. As the worm matures inside the host, it produces proteins that interfere with the insect’s central nervous system, altering its behavior. These chemical signals override the host’s instincts, driving it to find a water source

HORSEHAIR WORMS: BEWARE 😭 These worms normally infest bugs. However in "rare" cases they can indeed infest humans.
