@terry.bradshaw27: certain parasites can take over and control an insect's body to manipulate its behavior for the parasite's own benefit, leading to what is known as "zombification". This control is often achieved through chemicals released by the parasite or by manipulating the insect's genes, affecting its brain or muscles and causing it to act in ways that facilitate the parasite's reproduction or survival. #parasite #parasitesymptoms #insects #insectsoftiktok
