Characteristics of horsehair worm
Wireworms parasitize mantises and mantises. The physical condition reaches from several centimeters to 1 meter. Unlike earthworms, they do not expand or contract.
Wireworms are aquatic organisms, but part of their lives are parasitic on insects. It is still unknown how males and females meet in the water...
The larvae that hatch from the eggs are taken up by filter-feeding aquatic insects.
It will be in a state called "cyst" (a state of dormancy by making a shell by itself)
When aquatic insects emerge and fly to land and are preyed on by land insects such as praying mantises and mantises, they become parasitic and grow inside their belly for 2 to 3 months.
Adult wireworms go to the water's edge to lay offspring. For that purpose, a certain kind of protein is sent to the brain of the parasitized insect, and the host is manipulated to jump into the water.
