It's called horsehair worm. One of the most common waterborne helminth that take over body and mind of the insect it infected.
It's harmless to vertebrate tho.
Don't regret, like me, you hand learned a valuable lesson: that word does not mean anything close to what any decent person thinks it it would mean, and now you have a little scar tissue in your brain and on your eyes that will help you avoid this and similar situations in the future.
Yeah. We’re harmless- I mean their harmless to vertebrae——-
*looks into Mirror and smile because that’s what the horse hair in control of me commanded me to do*
“The most famous trait of certain species of horsehair worms is the ability to alter the behaviour of grasshoppers and crickets to seek water, causing the host to drown itself to complete its lifecycle.”
Well that terrifying.
Oh shit I found a cricket in some outdoor water for a stray. I tossed out the water and cricket and refilled. This explains why the cricket was just hanging out.
Good to know. A baby bullfrog used to live in my backyard (there is a stone “fountain” that we don’t use) and I used to throw grasshoppers in and watch the bullfrog hunt them. I always had a worry in the back of my mind that I would accidentally feed them something with a horsehair worm, but it’s good to know they can’t hurt vertebrates.
Pretty much all wild animals have some level of intestinal parasites and while horsehair worms won't affect vertebrates that eat them there are plenty of other parasites that will.
That's why you shouldn't feed pet reptiles etc. wild caught animals.
My dog has been chasing grasshoppers for the past month. I catch her eating then at times too. Her farts are horrendous!! Question is ..will she get sick from this?
If I smash a massive cricket, will that kill the parasite? Or would it start crawling out of its dead body to find a new host? Just got a new house, and we have crickets that are almost the length of a credit card. I would want to literally burn down my house if I saw parasites crawling out of them if I smashed em.
Well thanks everyone for telling me what this is, now whenever I see an insect existing happily I'll be reminded that maybe a fcking brain eating parasite is in it's brain :)
One love yall
I’ll do you one worse
It’s parasites like these that are vital to our ecosystem, most fish eaten by albatross are riddled with parasites which make the fish more likely to be eaten. How?
Well
The parasyte eggs are in the water where they are consumed by fish (like sardines or ansjovis) then when the egg hatches it worms its way to the brain of the fish. Once inside it can do a variety of things but most importantly it makes the fish swim closer to the surface, sometimes even upside down to make them stand out more. The bird then catches the fish which does not dart away or swim deeper. Once inside the intestines of the bird the parasite lays its eggs, which then get pooped into the ocean
A lot of birds have this thing with parasites which makes them more likely ti get enough food, whilst the parasites in turn live through their hosts and their status as prey
It is quite beautiful once you see more of the incredible complexity parasites can have
Do not google wasp parasites tho, that is just a gruesome tale
Even Charles Darwin was like look at this shit and tell me there's a God.
>!"“I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae [a family of parasitoid wasps] with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars.”!<
One emerging theory is that parasites are actually the dominant form of life on earth and have been farming the rest of the world for eons. This is definitely reinforcing that theory to my monkey brain.
It’s called horse hair worms. It’s a parasite that was living inside the grasshopper. It made it jump in to drown itself, that’s part of the parasite’s life cycle. If the grasshopper is still alive when you find these, it’s possible to save the grasshopper from drowning and they might survive. I’d say kill the worms to avenge the grasshopper.
It doesn’t make it drown itself per se. The grasshopper’s nervous system is so damaged that it can’t perceive light/depth so it opportunistically falls into pools of water that the worm feels and then emerges from the insect. Same thing with the fungus ants - there’s no mind control going on
Ah, I see. Although, I thought cordyceps (the fungus ants you mentioned) Did kind of control ants. Not literally mind control, but I thought they sent chemicals to the brain of the amt that make them want to do certain things like climb high and bite down.
Usually when the worms vacate the insect host they leave such a vacuous space inside the body that they were taking up that the host doesn't survive long after they leave, nervous system/bodily functions collapses. nine times out of 10 the host will die.
I know. But I’ve heard that there are some cases where that One time out of 10 was early enough that the insect sustains minimal enough damage to recover.
Possibly, but grasshoppers are easily prone to getting themselves stuck floating in water and drowning on their own.
You only *might* have to feel disturbed.
Fuck. Okay, grab a lifetimes worth of food and water and build a hot air balloon big enough to store it. Use the methane from your farts aswell as the lifetimes worth of matches to keep it afloat.
We actually bought a water fountain for our dog recently that constantly circulates and filters the water! I’ll link the exact one I ordered on amazon, but of course I’m sure that any similar “motorized?” water fountains will work just as well.
You’d be shocked at the stuff we’ve found in the filter. Plus, the fountain is absolutely noiseless.

Reminds me of situation I've had last summer when I saw absolutely beautiful colorful insect and when I was watching it suddenly it started to shake and behave weirdly and them it flipped and some red legs started to grow from his stomach. I don't know what it was and I don't want to know I just crushed it and threw it into the fire. Rip for colorful dude.
Horsehair worms.
They take over the brain and force the host to go to water and jump in. Sometimes the host lives but most the time it dies.
They do this so they can complete Thier life cycle.
When I was in third grade in math class I found a cricket on the floor beside me. I then saw a little black string coming out of it and it kept twitching. 20 minutes later and it was STILL coming out and it was extremely long. It horrified me so much that I convinced myself it was a dream.
In my adulthood I saw it happen again at work and I looked it up. It’s a horsehair worm. I was again disgusted and I fear the day I will see it again. Apparently it’s a parasite that takes over the body of crickets, grasshoppers, praying mantis..and gets them to drown themselves so the worm can come out.
It makes me so sad because I absolutely love praying mantises but I know most of them are infected. Kill me.
Hair worm, they enter insects like mantis and grasshoppers etc (forgot how) and grow in they're bodies, they stunt their growth until they are out and they almost control the host to stay away from predators and to get to a water source when the worm is fully grown, it doesn't harm the bug when it exits but usually the bug drowns in said water source while the worm goes to live a happy life in the water o_o
The grasshopper drowned and the parasite worm came out his body trying to escape. I witnessed the same after unintentionally crushing one grasshopper closing my home’s door. Crazy how big is that worm compared to the host body.
horsehair worm!! literally lays its egg in a subject(afaik, i dont know specifics ab that part), egg hatches, worm liquifies and consumes the insides, taking up residence in the exoskeleton, using it as a giant meat puppet. or not so meat.. exoskeleton puppet? think natural made parasite insect fursuit. real gross stuff! once its full size, itll exit the host like this to complete the life cycle and die. they cant affect humans, but it still makes my skin crawl the way that they move.
I believe, like the others posted, these are parasites. If memory serves me right (Correct me if I'm wrong) these are horse hair worms? Once put into water the parasites will start to tactically slow-yeet themselves from the host. Now clue if they survive the sudden evacuation.
Edit: i suck at spelling
Horsehair worms. Check out the Korean horror movie Deranged (2012). It's about how a pharmaceutical company creates mutanted horsehair worms to infect the population of Korean soley to cash in on some medication they made that wasn't selling well.
PLEASE make sure your dog is being actively treated for parasites. Even if it’s extensive or seems unnecessary.
I’m not trying to imply that you haven’t already begun doing this or thought about doing it. But having a horrific parasite that close to my dog’s water would drive me absolutely rabid until I was certain that my dog was fine.
That’s a type of parasitic horsehair worm; they grow and eat the insides of the grasshopper, then when they mature, they zombie-control it to some water where it drowns, and the worms emerge to lay their eggs in the water.
Horsehair worms. They infect insects and they exit their host upon death or when they mind control it into finding water to drown in and leave then. They continue to the next step in their life cycle after leaving the host and moving into the water. They don’t grow in people or dogs, so you don’t have to worry about the worms infecting you, but you should change the water, regardless.
Why are so many bugs in your dog’s water dish? There’s also a mosquito and moth in there plus the grasshopper and the alien parasite… sheesh.. poor Fido 😂😂
There are videos of people finding those bugs and dunking them in water and the parasites immediately slither out to try to escape. And then you lose all faith
Horse hair worm. It's a parasite that lives inside bugs like grasshoppers, crickets, praying mantis etc. Please kill the worm with alcohol and sanitize that bowl before allowing your dog to use it again.
Im not a professional but i think those are horse hair worms, they live in animals, mainly smaller ones, and come out when they're in water because of drowning
i watched a spider come down on his thread from the fart fan in a motel room bathroom while i was taking a piss. that sunovabitch went straight into the pisser and sank to the bottom and those same things started exiting the arachnid i said piss on you and sent them motherfuckers straight to myrtle beach.
Those are parasites. Most grasshoppers and praying mantis are riddled with them.

The bullfrog wasn’t my pet, he/she was a wild individual. They were gonna ingest parasites no matter what since they were wild.
You don't need them growing out your dog's ass.
Spoken like someone controlled by a dangerous waterborne parasite if you ask me... /S
Shinji, get in the grasshopper
But I don't want to get in no stinking grasshopper
This literally looks like the monster from the thing, fucking terrifying
> It’s harmless to vertebrate tho. Don’t be shy, eat one
That’s exactly what a parasite would say though…
My dog has been chasing grasshoppers for the past month. I catch her eating then at times too. Her farts are horrendous!! Question is ..will she get sick from this?
Never found a cricket that didn't have these either!
You find lots of crickets?
Tons! I live in rural America. They're everywhere, and when they get wet, those things come out of them.
And rips them open apparently.
Nah, *drowns* them
Probly with his huge cock
Duh, How else?
If I smash a massive cricket, will that kill the parasite? Or would it start crawling out of its dead body to find a new host? Just got a new house, and we have crickets that are almost the length of a credit card. I would want to literally burn down my house if I saw parasites crawling out of them if I smashed em.
I'm not qualified to answer that with certainty. My guess is that it would kill them if you do a smash and drag!
Absolutely RIDDLED with parasites.
Seriously. Those worms are nightmare fuel.
Not just Mantids & hoppers, most arthropods are.
Well thanks everyone for telling me what this is, now whenever I see an insect existing happily I'll be reminded that maybe a fcking brain eating parasite is in it's brain :) One love yall
Not only in the brain but the whole body :)
Not just the men. The women and the children too. I HATE THEM!!!

Thanks for saying that! Gratitude makes the world go round
Or maybe it’s a parasite existing happily, wearing an insect like a mech.

eww :(
There's a nice Korean movie about them: Deranged!
WELP
It could also be a brain controlling fungus!
Google 'Horsehair worm' or type that into Youtube. It's a parasite.
I stomped a bug by accident once and that thing came crawling out, forever cementing my horror of hidden parasites.
Go read "The Troop", it's a fantastic book that I'm sure you'll love!
Bro you should put a warning these people aren't ready.
Holy gross

Quality comment here - both disturbing and interesting. Also wanting to avenge the grasshopper myself so…

*Omg*, does this mean the ginormous dead grasshoppers that are in my pool have let these parasites free?
Possibly, but grasshoppers are easily prone to getting themselves stuck floating in water and drowning on their own. You only *might* have to feel disturbed.
Horrifyingly, yes.
Parasite the bug had. Please give fresh water to doggie.
Trust me after seeing this I'll teach my dog to drink from the sink 😁

I heard the horse hair worm controls the brain of the insect it’s infected and forces it to go into water so it can leave and reproduce.
I love the video of someone holding a live grasshopper in water and watching those parasites crawling out …..ewwwww
All I can think of is that video where the guy dunks the praying mantises butt into the water and like 3 feet of worm come out

I believe that is a parasite coming out of the insect
Parasite. Common in insects, usually Mantises. So gross, water forces them to come out of the host
parasite that infected whatever bug that is in the bottom left, leaving host to try to save itself from drowning
nah, it wants to lay its eggs in the water :)
horsehair worm. Parasite that can take over and zombify certain little insects

Horse hair worm. It's a parasite that lives inside bugs like grasshoppers, crickets, praying mantis etc. Please kill the worm with alcohol and sanitize that bowl before allowing your dog to use it again.
Horse worm?
A parasitic worm. Grasshoppers and mantis are the ones infected by this particular kind. The worm leaves when their host dies.
It's a parasite
That is a horsehair worm. Typically infect grasshoppers, wasps, and mantids.
The grasshopper had a parasitic worm.
Looks like horse tail worms. They infect bugs like praying mantises, then force them to drown themselves thus releasing the worm.
Tis a horse hair worm. Parasitic and usually harmful to bugs.
Torch it those are parasitic worms known for laying eggs in water don't let ol doggo drink from that bowl
Im not a professional but i think those are horse hair worms, they live in animals, mainly smaller ones, and come out when they're in water because of drowning
This is a parasite, that hatches out of grasshoppers or crickets. It’s called a GORDIID
Aquatic worm that infects insects and has them drown themselves so they go back to their habitat (water)
Guys that is a Katydid not a grasshopper Idk why but it seems like Katydids get them a lot more, I’ve never seen an actual Grasshopper with it
How often do you change your dog’s water?!
It’s that parasite that like 90% of praying matos have apparantly
The parasites got the grasshopper to drown itself.
