Roundworm emerges from a dying spider


Succinctly described by the YouTuber as follows: "ok so i was just editing my latest montage and this huge spider came out, so i sprayed it and killed it, then this fricken alien worm came out of it!!!  haha thanks for watching! - baskwith"

It apparently is a parasitic roundworm.  I didn't know they infested creatures as small as spiders.  And I'm amazed that the spider could apparently function with so much of its body mass filled with the nematomorph .
