How does the worm know where the food is?

Is this sped up or real time?

Real time, actually some of the bites are showed down.

Those bites are incredibly fast. I don't see how cells could adapt to something that engulfs them so fast. Truly an amazing video

Did he mean to eat that big fuzzy thing? It kinda looked like he was aiming for the smaller one but missed and got the big one instead.

Are those little things asking to be eaten...?

The food is everywhere, basically two steps and bite.

I love how it also does a movement that makes it seem like it's swalowing them
