episode description
From a louse that replaces the tongue of a fish to a legion of larvae that dramatically burst out of a caterpillar, and parasites that infest the eyestalks of a snail - some creatures stop at nothing when it comes to using other animals for survival. These bizarre and often unpleasant relationships reveal the darker side of nature's ingenuity. Biologist Dan O’Neil delves into this strange world of alien invaders, uncovering the fascinating and sometimes horrifying tactics these parasites use to thrive.
