To anyone that insterested the insects in the pic are based on a parasitic crustacean called Cymothoa exigua, which was discovered recently. It attaches to the tongue of a host fish (commonly the red snapper) draining blood and causing the tongue to eventually atrophy and fall off. It then replaces the tongue. That's right, it borrows into the base of the host's mouth and replaces the tongue. Nightmare fuel indeed.

Pleasant dreams folks.
Colbert did a report on that, quite terreifying, for fish.

Gyarados used Hyper Beam! The thing that had replaced Gyarados' tongue was incinerated!
