RE: Sacculina Carcini: Take Full Control Through The Transformation

Wow I did not know this. This sort of reminds me of the wasp (can't remember the name) which lays it's eggs inside of a caterpillar. the only difference being the caterpillar ends up dead... Thanks for sharing @natord once again another great post.

This wasp? :) Many creatures use their prey as a cocoon for posterity, it is also pretty creepy.

And there you go another wasp that uses a similar strategy to reproduce the Tarantula hawk. This was actually what i was talking about just did some searching and the name potter wasp came up. But the tarantula wasp is something else there... and yes they are creepy but amazing nonetheless.
