I am this caterpillar

[dylanbd]

Do you feel that somehow an irrational attachment has been implanted in you by a malign parasitic entity that will one day cause your destruction, but you are helpless to resist its control over your brain? Well, then perhaps you are a caterpillar.

Awesome. This is a good post.

A+ post.
Those wasps are so bossy! All "here, take these eggs, now let the babies eat you, now take care of these pupa, now fight off predators, now go die with nothing to show for all your hard work!" Rude - and creepy.

Off topic, but your icon is awesome.

On topic, thanks, I like big pigs and I cannot lie.

At least it's not a cordyceps...

Ooh! Thanks for the picture. Someone spoke about this vaguely a few days ago when mentioning the wasp that "controlled" the cockroach. And I meant to look up more information on this particular instance. Thanks! Good post. Great picture.

Huh. Maybe it's the fact that I've been playing Dead Rising waaaay too much lately, but I'm finding this absolutely terrifying.

You're not the only one,

I always found the whole parasite mind control thing freaky as all hell.

Yeah, this definitely reminded me of Resident Evil 4. I think at one point a scientist even mentions parasite/host mind control in smaller bugs in relation to the human ones in the game.

Heh, makes me want to go play it again.
