Characteristics of Eudiplozoon nipponicum

 It is 10mm in height, and the host is a carp. It is distributed in Asia and Europe.
 It looks like a butterfly, but it's actually two butterflies clinging to each other! One of the Eudiplozoon nipponicum moves over the gills of the carp to search for them, and as soon as they meet, the two will bond. It's called love at first sight. It is so romantic isn't it.

 It doesn't parasitize humans, so it's okay

By the way, this phytophagus seems to be the favorite parasite of the Lord who wrote this page!

Isn't it cute that you can't separate once you stick to it?
