*covers crotch, closes mouth, and stays out of the water...*
See that little guy? Bet you thought it was a fish tongue and ordinarily you'd be right, but this happens to be a parisitic louse. It attaches to the fishes tongue(in this case one of a red snapper) and eats the toungue down to a nub, staying attached the whole time and effectively replacing it.
Exhibit B:
This eel shaped, translucent, inch long fish is the dreaded candirú. Attracted the nitrogen, this fish attaches itself to the inside of a fishes gills via a hooked spine and feeds off the blood of the fish. This fish has been known to swim up a man's peehole and attach itself. Before I get any trolls telling me this is an urban legend, I highly recommend looking at the links at the bottom of the page.
Exhibit C:
This is the Hair Worm, it develops inside a grasshopper and upon reaching adulthood, alters its brain chemistry to jump in the water commiting suicide so that the worm may mate.

These things are voracious hemovores. Read that with a capital "VORACIOUS" and a plenitude of "FUCKINGs" preceding. Example: A "scientist" was holding a candiru during a demonstration or somesuch. This fuckwit happened to have an open cut on his hand. The PPHDF proceeded to SLIDE INTO THE CUT, AND COULD BE SEEN STRUGGLING TOWARD A VEIN UNDERNEATH THE SKIN!! If this thing isn't evidence that God is a sadistic bastard, I don't know what is.
Odd how these things (PPHDF, Tstetse flies, eyeworms) all live in the southern hemisphere....
