It only infects a certain species of ant, lets it act normally during the daytime (or nighttime, I can't remember which) and then during the (day/night--whichever) it makes the ant climb to the top of a blade of grass. It has to keep doing this night after night (day after day?) until it, and the grass, is eaten by a sheep. Then the worm has the rest of its life cycle in the sheep.

Because I really don't like ants, and that combined with the horror movie comment (which I agree with) just made me imagine a horrible, horrible situation.
