My wife came across this youtube clip of a spider and a worm. Can anyone identify at least the phylum?

I think it's a Gordian worm or more accurately known as Spinochordodes tellinii . Good music for a parasitic event like that by the way. Nematomorpha is the phylum.

If your a molecular guy, check out Spinochordodes tellinii and the WNT pathway, pretty cool stuff.
