Most of us don’t really experience nature. Sure, you might go hiking or camping, and you might see a bear or some wolves and you feel that weird tingle that comes from being back in the food chain.
There’s so much more out there we never even see. You ever see pictures of those things that swim in the deeeeeep ocean. Fuck that. Nature is insane.

Leucochloridium is a parasitic worm that invades a snail’s eyestalks, where it pulsates to imitate a caterpillar. The worm then mind-controls its host into the open for hungry birds to pluck out its eyes. The worm breeds in the bird’s guts, releasing its eggs in the bird’s feces. from r/natureismetal
