As the worm grows and matures inside the insect, the insect host seems to surrender its will to the horsehair worm. Three months after the horsehair worm parasitizes the insect, this host--almost zombie-like-- is compelled to seek out water. When the insect enters the water, the mature worm emerges from the host's body wall---as a writhing, knotting, mass of hair-like worm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.08 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 12, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52671552684339,"sku":"9781976364990","price":23.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Y1Qwb29relpFSjlsOXBCaEtZRWRzdz09.webp?v=1762854988","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/squirmy-horsehair-worms-a-zombie-creating-parasite-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
