Just when you think you should not go back into the water, something like this comes along and tells you....
1. **Trout Fishing in America, "I Get Ideas"**. Trout is a great band; they do both children's
music and adult music. This is one of their children's songs, but I love it anyway. What's
not to like about a song that features shampooing with peanut butter?

That... was... so... COOL! One wonders how the heck those things fit in the host in the first place.
Gordian or horsehair worms (Nematomorpha) have larvae that are parasitic on arthropods. When the larva reaches maturity, it emerges from the host into water. At least some species are apparently able to manipulate their host's behaviour to make it seek out water as in the video.
If a fish or frog swallows the cricket with the worm still in it, the worm will probably escape to open water. Fiendish, eh?
