The trematode infects a horn snail, castrates it, and uses its body to reproduce.
There, it releases cerceriae, which attach to killifish and burrow towards their brains.
One on the brain, they cause the fish to shimmy and flash their shiny sides upward
"Why you doin that, Frank?"
"Because it's *awesome*."
This gets the parasite into its ultimate goal: the gut of a predatory bird.
"What are the odds?!"
From there, they are excreted back into the water to infect snails.
"*Hahahahaha*! Everything is as I forsaw it!”
What happens to the killifish isn't strange in nature. In fact, it may be common
Since humans are atop their food chain, it's not clear that we're subject to the same sort of manipulations. Though.... Sometimes I wonder about astrophysicists.
"These send signals to space so aliens can find us!"
"*Awesome*!"

Fun fact: Today's comic features the organism studied by my wife, Kelly Weinersmith. Due to the existence of this comic, any discoveries she makes are now credited to me.
