Very-Lucky-Arpad! Distome (Leucochloridium paradoxum) Has been my favorite parasite for a few years (It's been my email address too, and when I don't want to use my real name (Arpad) as my username, I use Distome)
Anyhow, I FOUND THIS IN MY YARD TODAY and I AM IN LOVE!! In fact, I love it so much that I finally figured out how to upload videos to youtube so I could share it with you!
Don't worry, no obnoxious music in the background, just some beautiful, pulsating tentacles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QML6S1qe_hs

You ought to send this to Scythemantis, he loves this stuff! See: http://www.bogleech.com/bio-para.html
...I don't know if it's weird to have a favourite parasite, but I have loved these for a long time, too! I was breezing down my FA upload list cos I have like 1000+ to look at, and i did a double-take when i saw this!!! So cool! I also love love love cordyceps fungi & dracunculus medinensis. parasitology is fascinating. <3 i'm jealous of you! great video, too!
