Meh. That's nothing.

Suppose we had something like this

Or this

Or even this

that liked to lay its eggs specifically in our bodies so the larvae could eat us alive as they grew, waiting until they'd extracted all the nutrients before killing us.

With live-action video goodness here.

The Ichneumonoidae were one of the first modern challenges to the notion of a kind, benevolent Creator.

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress. Tip her a lot because you won't be finishing dinner after reading this.

Tellner, I actually got to see an Ichneumon wasp laying its eggs in a stump this Summer at the Ludington State park in Michigan. Now I know it was laying them in an insect in the stump. I've seen them dead before, but was kind of cool seeing one alive.
