Why does it injest eggs off of the grass if the adult injects them into another's throat? Other than that, dope.

Also what's the point of the adult emerging when it's already reproduced? How is there any selection pressure to do that

It wouldn't inject eggs into a new host of the same species, it would either directly lay new eggs or find another species to inject. Maybe the only can be approached by a virgin thing is just them seeking out a healthy human host...

He horse is not the same species as the “unicorn” which is the horn-worm itself

This doesn't explain how the eggs got on the grass strands in the first place.

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

How do the eggs get onto the grass?

If a parasite starts its cycle in the grass then ends its cycle in the grass.
