''Within 24 hours after hatching, they are thought to form a protective covering or cyst on vegetation near the water's edge. If the cyst is eaten by a suitable insect, the protective covering dissolves. The released larva bores through the gut wall and into the body cavity of the host. There, it digests and absorbs the surrounding tissue. Mature worms leave the host to find a mate.''
