larval paedogenesis in Eristalini larvae (larval development within a larva)
Larval development of Telmatogeton in the sea on oil platforms,
Pelidnoptera inside Myriapoda and I find urogenital myasis of Sylvicola fenestratus, Scenopinis, Teichomyza fusca, Musca domestica also very strange, but that is just my opinion.
several families develop in birds' nests, on bats, inside the intestines of cattle, in tree rot holes, inside bromelia, but perhaps not strange enough.
