Nope, I’m not getting this one to work. Different joke?

Summary of studies for anyone interested.

I recently learned it’s the larvae (little black and orange alligator looking things) that do most of the eating. We ordered ladybugs this year, most of them flew away, but they left little orange oval eggs on the back of a few leaves. When the larvae hatched, they demolished the aphids.

Beth Mole, a writer at Ars Technica, has a fun example with Rat Lungworm: Burning in woman’s legs turned out to be slug parasites migrating to her brain.

It started with a bizarre burning sensation in her feet. Over the next two days, the searing pain crept up her legs. Any light touch made it worse, and over-the-counter pain medicine offered no relief.

and so on until it’s diagnosed, then some lifecycle/vector explanation:

For instance, if a slug or snail traverses a leaf of lettuce, leaving a slime trail in its wake, the leaf can be contaminated with the larvae.

Octopus Lady is 100% crazy ocean creature facts. Also on Nebula.

Have seen this IRL. The only part that’s inaccurate is that the poop would be a single object rather than an area effect.
