Creature Concept: Worms are good

Here is a bit of inspiration for a worm-like creature I plan to use in a show I’m developing called Aleria. I stumbled on it awhile back and now will use it.

Gordian worms live inside crickets for long periods, feeding on the cricket’s diet. Once fully grown, they inject chemicals into the cricket’s brain brainwashing it and forcing it to kill itself by jumping into the water. Once in the water, the worm wriggles out of the writhing body and swims off in search of a mate.
