The tachina fly, a parasitic insect, skillfully manipulates its host's behavior for its own survival.
Female tachina flies possess a specialized organ, called the ovipositor, which they use to deposit their eggs directly into the bodies of their host insects.
The tachina fly's larvae feed and grow inside the host insect, eventually consuming it from the inside out.
