(A fan on stream educated us that it is a “horse hair worm”...if you ever want to sleep again do NOT search for it on KZbin!!!)
Missing the video games? I stream them every Monday/Wednesday/Friday/Saturday at 6pm US Eastern! / generikb

(READ THIS ITS RELEVANT THE VIDEO) parasites called Nematomorphs, which are different than nematodes or earthworms* which are more familiar to many people. Nematomorphs are really cool because they use at least two hosts, and have to travel between completely different environments to complete their lifecycle. Life for a Nematomorph host is extremely brutal, because one host must get eaten while the other must drown. At the end of the lifecycle, where the adult takes over the mind of her host and forces it to drown in a body of water. The adult is free-living, and lives in a pond or river. The adult doesn’t eat, because it doesn’t have a digestive tract. Or a circulatory system. Or a respiratory system. It’s basically a swimming reproductive system, and females may lay over one million eggs in her lifetime. These eggs hatch, and there’s a short-lived larval form which finds an aquatic insect, like a mosquito. The Nematomorph then hangs tight while the insect does it’s thing and turns into an adult. After the insect leaves the water, like mosquitoes do, it needs to get eaten by the host the adult develops in. After getting eaten, the parasite migrates to the abdomen of the second host and begins absorbing nutrients through it’s skin until it’s time to hijack the host and emerge.

I read on Google that there have been accidental infestations in vertebrates like horses and humans. Especially in humans in China and Japan. Reading the article I would NEVER go in fresh water in Southeast Asia.

Nature is a b*tch

[@emzirek]

If I'm not mistaken I think these can also swim up a stream of urine

[@Lady.Kianna]

@@emzirek No that was a type of fish not a worm but I know of what you're thinking of

[@kenningtonrund282]

@@emzirek that's a fish that lives in the Amazon river. Just another reason to never go swimming there

[@vaalrus]

This is why I live where the air can freeze my face. No weird worms. No bees the size of volkswagens, no snakes in the bidet, and spiders guaranteed to be smaller than your shoe.

[@WanderingHermitCrab]

I'm surprised she could hear you with those Air Pods in.

[@Lahmbs]

I don’t feel so good mr stark 😂

[@BaconBabe87]

Its called a "horse hair worm" Genny :) Harmless to humans and pets, but deadly for insects (its only host)

[@VoilaTadaOfficial]

Time for a lesson! Those were Hairworms. Usually their host is a cricket, but they can infect crickets' predators if they're eaten. Hairworms basically mind control their host to take them to water. There's a video about it on the Deep Look channel.

[@ctop]

I threw up at 0:00 That thing is gross

[@salty_slug]

XD Nice one

[@lunchmeat5000]

Gotta get out of Bali, they got bugs with the butt worms.

[@coolnorsee6869]

Hey! That is my city, i am from Indonesia

[@kathrynblodgett1969]

In all this time in Southeast Asia and this is the first time you've come across their creepy crawlies. I was laughing so hard when you said, "I'm going back to Chicago". You weren't even thinking of Bulgaria. You just wanted home and your Mommy. Now I'm going to search the interwebs and see what the hell is going on. Lololololol

[@bwayboyjay]

You actually saved the mantis life

[@joshsangl798]

Drain the pool and set it on fire. Come back to Chi town.

[@ramahllama9804]

Horsehair worms can be discovered in damp areas, such as watering troughs, swimming pools, streams, puddles, and cisterns. The adult worms are free-living, but the larvae are parasitic on arthropods, such as beetles, cockroaches, mantids, orthopterans, and crustaceans.

[@AIACH22]

Yet you played that video in the livestream for ages. Omg made my skin crawl xD

[@georgetomasino8323]

It is a parasite

It's stuff like this that makes me glad to live in the ice and snow.

@@Tiglopoon I saw some on a documentary, my God they were huge. I guess some things you kinda get this mental thing like, 'ok that's so huge it's just not real', kinda attitude ya know? Like that picture of Chris Hemsworth pointing at that spider on the wall in his house and I was thinking LOL nope, no way is that a real thing.....Little did I know!!!! There are just some crazy things, and those are just the ones we know about!!!!!!!!!!

I saw this video days ago, saw the description, left. Now Im back and Im hiding in the comments, everything about this just feels wrong. I dont know if Im gonna risk it and watch the video or just forget about it

[@williamsanders468]

Preying mantis might like to give birth in the water so it might not be a tapeworm

[@samnsaintfools3028]

Admiral Sandwich mantids mostly lay their ootheca on branches, though in captivity they’ll often lay them on the lids of their enclosures. I’ve heard of some instances of mantids swimming but I’ve never seen it in action- in my experience mantis + too much water = death. They do need humidity to shed properly but being in water is pretty insane. Saw someone above mention the parasite is most common in crickets which happen to be one of the adult mantis’ favorite treats! Amazing little critters! And they make surprisingly dope pets.

[@pannanap]

thats no tapeworm

[@hydroglodone2839]

It’s good to see you uploading again even if it is just stupid stuff like this keep it up gennyb

[@Renaid13]

I totally ate chili while watching this, all warnings be damned... of course, I'm a parent so I've seen really gross stuff before.

[@mjf920]

Damn!

[@CrimsonStigmata]

This looks similar to the worm parasites that are in crickets that eat their fat and control their minds. They make the crickets find a body of water so the parasite can leave the cricket.

[@skylerwub]

Look up gordian worm does not affect humans except to freak the f out

I think the names of those creatures crawling out of the praying mantis was threadworms they hang out in the insides of creatures their final life cycles to go back into water where they can reproduce I believe thank you Animal Planet

Oh yea. And those things can hit 2 meters in extreme cases

Ya totally a Hair Worm it mind control his host like evryone say and then leave when in the water. Sometime when the host reach out of water he can continue to live with no consequences. I saw it on TV somewhere
