A foundational memory for me was a fish dissection in middle school in which we respectfully sliced the innards of one of these bad boys only to find this exact parasite inside. All the other groups just had a fish to dissect, but we also took a supercurricular lab detour to dissect that other thing too, as my classmates from other groups gathered around with real curiosity.

Frankly haven’t thought much of it in years. Would be cool to know what this is actually called.

emergence of three other species, which sprang out of the butterfly like Russian dolls.

That was a good read thanks mate. Now all I can think of is a chest buster coming out of a chest buster and then another chest buster comes out of that one and cant stop laughing at the absurdity of knowing Xzibit did this.
