Entomologist Jennifer Zaspel and her team have found moths that will drill their hook-and-barb-lined tongues under the skin and suck you blood. Thought to be an evolutionary jump from drinking the juices of fruit, these tiny winged blood suckers from Russia are virtually indistinguishable from their central and southern European fruit drinking cousins.

Those who suffer from Mottephobia (the fear of moths) and Sanguivoriphobia (the fear of vampires) can now proceed to freak the hell out.
