You want foul, what about those parasitoid wasps that lay their eggs inside the flesh of living caterpillars so that after the cute little wasp larvae hatch they can eat their way out, killing the host in the process?

Nature, what are you gonna do.

Fascinating stuff, thanks. Though, I shall blame you for every nightmare I have over the next few weeks. ;-)
