@thenatureeducator: Real life ZOMBIE BUGS !! Cordyceps fungi can infect insects and spiders by releasing spores that attach to the host's body, which then go through their exoskeleton, and take over their internal systems. This alters the insects behaviour, turning them into "zombies"! The fungi can guide their host to a prime location, fuse them in place, then produce their fruiting body to release spores so the cycle and continue. There are over 260 species of cordyceps found worldwide of which most are parasitic on insects and arthropods. It's like a real life zombie infection, similar to "The Last of Us, but don't worry... this only affects insects and spiders! #cordyceps #fungi #fungus #nature #insect
