PARASITES: Cymothoa exigua Button
A parasitic Crustacean in the same order as woodlice and pillbugs (or sowbugs and roly-polies), Cymothoa exigua is the only parasite that effectively replaces a body part of its host. As it drains blood from the tongue of a fish, the original tongue shrinks away while the fish manipulates the parasite as a new appendage. This amazing animal was even featured on the Colbert Report, though it was mistakenly referred to as a fish itself! Visit bogleech.com for more parasites, monsters and weirdness.

The button was just as expected. My mother's smile was captured so beautifully. The size was just right and the colors we chose were bright. The print was nice and clear. A person ordering should just make sure the wording is lined up in the center before submitting
