    There’s supposedly a fungus that only grows on the left antenna of one species of moth. So yes there are a lot of unique biomes.

        If I remember correctly is the same adaptation of this eye parasite of Greenland sharks, they only grow in one of the two sensors so the parasited animal is not terribly compromised and still can thrive enough to complete the life cycle of the parasite
