Draco Ate One of These, Are they edible? ~

[Mysterygal613]

They are edible. its just a gordian worn

[gorosujap]

its Nematomorph.. lol ㅎㅎㅎ

[critterchik]

this is usually called a horse-hair worm, gordian worm, or nematomorpha or gordiacea. there's nothing wrong with eating it, it's only harmful to insects and very small mammals. i would caution you to think long and hard about where this worm could have been and what it could have touched before you eat it though. a lot of these worms grow in small pools of fresh water where it's quite easy for human beings to get beaver fever.

[treii28]

look up horsehair worm or gordian worm. We might want to thank these things for someday stopping the spread of malaria. Apparently they infect beatles, crickets and grasshoppers and effect their central nervous system generally causing the bug to commit suicide in water where the worms can breed. Some diseases cause similar changes in biting insects to lead them to bite more, thus spreading the disease.

nasa  has to do something right now ..earth is in danger

[Animekyle1997]

[TheDJRapiD]

When these things hatch from an insect they seem to have no sense of direction or anything they just wriggle so how do they actually find a mate to then breed? can anyone help me pls.

[youcancallmeflower]

it looks like a horsehair worm. They usually live inside of insects and very small mammals. They can control them through their nervous system as larve, as adults they can be free living, usually praying on insects. If a human were to injest one it would most likely try to wriggle out, prefering a smaller host.

[et3rn4lsuff3r1ng]

What is a horsehair worm doing on a flower? I though they liked water? I read somewhere that the riversides are their favorite place.

roundworm

[TheaterOfMemory]

horsehair worm: also called hairworm , or gordian worm any of the approximately 250 to 300 species of the class Nematomorpha, or Gordiacea (phylum Aschelminthes). The young of these long, thin worms are parasitic in arthropods. The adults are free-living in the sea or in freshwater. The hairlike body sometimes grows to a length of 1 m (about 39 inches).

[enternetglobal]

Thank you for your erudite assistance. This is useful knowledge that I will corroborate.

[MysterEy1]

I'm researching it.

[themommacat]

thank you for making me use the dictionary :)

[MysterEy1]

He does that to people. The book worm!

[MysterEy1]

Horsehair worms can be confused with other parasitic worms of the order Nematoda. Parasitic nematodes can be separated from horsehair worms by the structure of the (posterior) end of the body. The "tail" of parasitic nematodes is hooked and the anal opening occurs before the body's end. In contrast, the end of Gordius horsehair worms have a cleft (Fig. 2).
