Hairworm parasites induce their terrestrial insect hosts to enter water, where the parasites must emerge to reproduce. This is one of the most fascinating examples of host manipulation by parasites, but the key mechanism triggering the hosts’ entry into water has long been wrapped in mystery. Here we show that arboreal mantids (Hierodula patellifera) infected by hairworm parasites (Chordodes sp.) are attracted to horizontally polarized light, which could induce the mantids to enter the water.
