Tongue-eating louse, Cymothoa exigua. Attached to the tong of a Clownfish, Amphiprion ocellaris. It's a parasitic isopod that enters fish through the gills, and then attaches itself to the fish's tongue. The female attaches to the tongue and the male attaches on the gill arches beneath and behind the female. The parasite severs the blood vessels in the fish's tongue, causing the tongue to fall off. It then attaches itself to the stub of what was once its tongue and becomes the fish's new tongue. Once the parasite replaces the fish tongue begins to feed on the host's blood. Indonesia.

Tongue-eating louse, Cymothoa exigua, inside the mouth of Clark's anemonefish, Amphiprion clarkii. The parasite enters fish through the gills, and then attaches itself to the fish's tongue. It severs the blood vessels in the fish's tongue, causing the tongue to fall off. It then attaches itself to the stub of what was once its tongue and becomes the fish's new tongue. Indonesia

Woodlouse spider, Dysdera crocata. Eating a woodlose. Woodlouse spiders hunt at night and do not spin webs. They spend the day in a silken retreat made to enclose crevices in, generally, partially decayed wood, but sometimes construct tent-like structures in indents of various large rocks. Their diet consists principally of woodlice which—despite their tough exoskeleton—are pierced easily by the spider's large chelicerae (fangs). They bite humans if handled but with no major medical problems. Localized itchiness at the bite site has been reported in some cases. Portugal
