26 Notes

lifeofbk: Hi, I’m Cymothoa Exigua. I go into the mouths of fish, and feed off the blood of its tongue.  Eventually, it atrophies and falls off, and that’s where I step in!  Once the tongue is gone, I root myself into the muscle structure, and act as the fish’s tongue for the rest of our life. Fear me. This little fellow makes the peanut sized spiders scampering about my house look harmless (they probably are, but still freak the shit out of me).
