Lesson in Nature - are you operating as a "zombie bodyguard" for those who implanted their names, languages, religions, worldview on you - while it destroys you from the inside out?

⁣Wasp larvae on a caterpillar is a classic example of parasitoidism, where tiny parasitic wasps lay eggs ⁣inside or on a caterpillar, the larvae hatch and eat the caterpillar ⁣from within (often avoiding vital organs to keep the host alive), ⁣eventually emerge, and spin cocoons, sometimes while the caterpillar ⁣acts as a "zombie bodyguard" for them.
