In the wild, Andrew feeds on fish, sponges, small crustaceans, nematode worms and protozoans.
Benny's diet is very specialized, consisting mainly of the interior of Ramy nuts, nectar from the Traveller's Palm tree, some fungi and insect grubs. He is also known to raid coconut plantations, and has been seen eating lychees and mangoes, which are also plantation crops.

What's a round worm doing on tape? Tape worms go on tape; roundworms go on CDs.

I wish you would have told us a bit more about this. There was no explanation on the video.
Who usually gets worms of this size? Does this look like the esophagus, or is it the intestine? Are these worms living in the stomach, in order to be coming up through the esophagus?
I found this very interesting, but as a biologist, I would like you to add some commentary just by way of your opinion, or suppositions looking at the video.

Interesting, so what do these worms do? Eat our food as it goes down, or eat bits of us?
Chezjake - that made me laugh :D.
