The G. pulchrum parasite is a nematode worm of the order Spirurida. It is a relatively thin nematode, and like other worms within its class, it has no circulatory or respiratory system. Most other Gongylonema species infect birds and mammals: there are 25 species found in mammals and 10 species found in birds. [citation needed]
Pieris rapae is a small- to medium-sized butterfly species of the whites-and-yellows family Pieridae.It is known in Europe as the small white, in North America as the cabbage white or cabbage butterfly, [note 1] on several continents as the small cabbage white, and in New Zealand as the white butterfly.

The larvae themselves appear as translucent white worms, roughly 8 mm (5 ⁄ 16 in) long. [2] When consumed, the larvae can possibly survive in the intestine, causing enteric pseudomyiasis; [3] [4] however, no cases have been linked to the cheese. [5] Additionally, these larvae can carry harmful microorganisms that may lead to infections.
The worms have previously been found in pets in the U.S. Now, the discovery of the worms in a black bear has prompted renewed worries for humans. These tiny worms live in eyes, feed on tears and ...
Tiny worms behave more like snakes Research on the worms began more than 15 years ago at Sam Houston State University when Patrick J. Lewis, a professor there, led a research trip to Botswana with ...
Bipalium species are predatory.Some species prey on earthworms, while others may also feed on mollusks. [10] [11] These flatworms can track their prey. [12]When captured, earthworms begin to react to the attack, but the flatworm uses the muscles in its body, as well as sticky secretions, to attach itself to the earthworm to prevent escape.
Adult bugs feed on nectar, pollen, and other smaller insects, while their larvae feed on snails and other small ground creatures. Summary of 7 Bioluminescent bugs That Light Up
Nematomorpha (sometimes called Gordiacea, and commonly known as horsehair worms, hairsnakes, [1] [2] [3] or Gordian worms) are a phylum of parasitoid animals superficially similar to nematode worms in morphology, hence the name. Most species range in size from 50 to 100 millimetres (2.0 to 3.9 in), reaching 2 metres (79 in) in extreme cases ...
