Leucochloridium is paradoxical. It sounds like an alga, but it's actually a parasite, a flatworm that lives in the intestines of birds and sucks them from the inside out. In order for the worm's children to get into other birds, it needs the help of the amber snail, which eats the eggs of leucochloridia from bird poop and raises another hypostasis of the worm, which will never get to live in the bird, but it sends its worm offspring there, launching them through the snail's eyes into the birds ' beaks. And to make it easier and more convenient for the bird to find a parasitic snail, the worm that lives in the liver of this snail makes it crawl out into an open, brightly lit place, where it launches its caterpillar-like appendages into the snail's eyes and begins to move them. The bird thinks that it is delicious and healthy, and bites off the appendages, and they turn into an adult lecochloridia worm in the bird, which begins to sow its eggs with bird poo.
Disgusting. Gatilov is delighted.
