Nematomorpha crawl inside cockroaches and grasshoppers and send a type of protein from there bodies that travel to the cockroach or grasshopper and brain wash them to look for water and make them commit suicide and they pop back out after eating there insides (Nematomorpha like water)

Eu já vi este verme em um grilo e em uma barata pequena, e eles só sairam de dentro deles quando morreram, muito nojento, foram uns 5 vermes do grilo e 2 na barata !!
