Did you know that some parasites can actually control the minds of their hosts? 🧠 Meet the Leucochloridium, a parasitic worm that turns ordinary snails into "zombies." But why does it do this? 🐌

The parasite infects the snail's eyes, making them pulse and glow to mimic caterpillars. This attracts birds, which are the parasite's ultimate target. To make sure the snail gets noticed, the worm hijacks the snail's brain, forcing it to climb into the bright sunlight—somewhere a snail would normally never go. ☀️ When a bird plucks the eye, the parasite enters the bird's gut to reproduce, completing its terrifying life cycle. It's a masterclass in biological manipulation! 🧪✨
