Cricket Suicide

[haven1324]

OH DEAR GOD.

[NicKtheGreeK1100]

congratulations! it's a worm!

[cassoulucas]

pour sporebid c est un ver(dans son estomac) qui pousse le criket a sauter dans l eau pour que le ver puisse continuer sa vie

[Sporebird]

O_o cétait quoi le file?

[111imstupid111]

DAM NATURE U SCARY

[2468MrDeathwatch]

WHAT THE FUCK!!! That thing must have taken up ALL the space inside the cricket.

[EvyLois]

one day, we found a dead cricket and a black creepy thingy swimming in my dog's water bowl, and then a few weeks later, I squished a cricket and one of those nasty parasites crawled out of it. It was so gross!!!!!

[rubenchos007]

WTF! is discosting

[khaozero]

@rubenchos007 spell check

[AceofDlamonds]

Burn it.....

[abcd12345]

theres a fly tha tputs his eggs inside the male cricket (cause hes noisy) and they eat him from inside and he dies

[asiangangzter]

this is a true parasite, i seen a video of it on tv. it only effects insects so far, but it may effect people some day

[VBH8888]

im not sure if its the same but yes it can infect humans. cause slower reaction time and paranoya and in women increases the mood for sexual desire wich i dont htink is that bad haha

[wahhho]

@VBH8888 ah so the worm is horny

[TheStructuralDoctor]

@VBH8888

You are talking about toxoplasma gondii, thats a very different kind of parasite; this nematodes are harmless to humans.

[JuanPapaNicolao]

im never going in my pool again LOL

especially if it had dead crickets floating around

[BlackHoleSun1921]

Fuckin scary

[U574]

i know this Parasite, it goes inside body and make pressue about Suicidie inside water, so its work in humans too careful, and this not fake

[BasherCoon]

Is this even english?

[laparis08888]

LOL

[buttonNZ]

ew.. you now have that thing in your pool. Gross.

[Chslosers]

The worm does not control its mind.. your retarded author. The cricket commits suicide because of his organs being crushed upwards towards his head.. the pain is why he kills himself.

[laXman13579]

no, the worm controls his mind, the worm make him drown because its the worms natural habitat

[lawrencexmoon]

Well, it stimulates a chemical into the cricket's mind causing it suicide within water, where the hairworm's offspring dwell in.

[zaxjackson636]

Basically, you are the closest to being correct. It's a genetic chemical which instructs the cricket to find water, like how our genes instruct our body to grow legs or arms. It's so cruel but so cool hahaha.

[Duppzor]

@lawrencexmoon It "controls" the nerva system, doesnt it? Making it go to water so it can evolve, since it's larva stage is aquatic.

[rasui80]

Hes only kiddin dude.

Geez...

[SkyjockDS]

Oh, and they're called "Horsehair worms" because it was once believed that hairs from a horses' tail would fall into a water trough, and suddenly spring to life!

[SkyjockDS]

No, it isn't a nematode. It's a "Nematomorph", also known as a "Horsehair Worm". It IS a parasite, but not on humans! I've caught a few, and they ARE pretty scary to handle! Harmless, but scary-acting, anyway! Some sources say they actually DO influence hosts to go towards water, because that's where they breed. Again, they are NOT a bother to humans, and can be found in things like farm water troughs, small ponds, or about any type of calm water area. (I raise many invertebrates!)

[GreatGreenOne]

I'm not joking, the reason I found this video was because I just killed a cricket in my dorm room and when I threw it into the toilet a worm came out of it. It was quite a show for everyone in my hall.

[KHaozRage]

lol if i could use mind control on living animals first i would mind control the president and force him to eat horse sh*t!!! and then eat his brain to make him retarded!

[OhioXPitbullXRescue]

0_o wow that is creepy

[spoonsandporks]

damn that crap can move out

[RoxasnRiku]

i would get tons of those and make a wig :D

[toomanylettersXYZ]

this is what m night shyamalan used as his inspiration for the happening

[Mantis47]

Dear god, have mercy! Make me un-see that! O_O

Anyway, I don't think the parasite (a nematode, BTW)"foced" the cricket to kill himself. Bugs aren't smart enough to avoid a pool. Just fell, and the worm abandoned the sinking ship.

[crazyshinigami]

omg that thing is long O_o

next time when i see someone who committed suicide,I'll check their head first to see if there's one.........

[Kuroshi69]

holy jesus fuck. i'm not swimming in my pool anymore :[

[knoxville2k5]

Longest dooky ever.

[guille16ibz]

k coño era eso k le salioÇ?

madreeeeeeeeeee

[gtzroyalace]

[firexx78]

[erasMostro]

CONCHETUMARE!!!!!!!

[Trialpeligro]

CONCHETUMARE!!!! igual weon pelos vivos !

weas raras me cago

[NHScheer09xo]

that discusting

[sabukagaara]

Poor cricket :(

[RBEO22]

I hope that thing was sucked into the filter...

[mikehoncho101]

The parasite is called a Hair Worm. It controls it's mind and then leaves when the host is dead

[ohhoe]

I am so creeped out right now.

[Enthropomorphia]

Holy shit!..I dunno if I'm amazed or creeped out!! :O That is some amazing nature at work.

[Desoxiribonuklein]

It's not bullshit. You can look it up on the internet or ask your favourite biology prof ;-)

[Desoxiribonuklein]

It's not bullshit, you can look it up on the internet or ask your favourite biology prof ;-)

[anxaxol]

yes, i was totally suprised how big the damn-freaking worm is....i don't like insects...

[esquimalt1]

I feel so sorry for that cricket. :(

[blahblahjess]

NNOOOOOO!!!! DON'T DOOO ITT!!!!.... haha

[taxmonkey123]

That's bullshit.

[GreatGreenOne]

Tell that to the cricket I just killed and one of those things popped out as I threw it in the toilet.

[Hohenheim117]

Damn...

[RyanxTang]

What the hell?

[groovdafied]

How does something so big, live in such a small insect.

[danbrownlow]

Lol, if you read up on parasites.. there are some pretty nasty ones that live inside humans :P

[groovdafied]

Discovery channel did a show about parasites in humans, and they showed actual footage too... Man that made me squirm.

[cdbob]

That was really sad, I hate worms!

[skatman722]

Creepy
