Hexagonal hunterslug, Chlamydephorus sexangulus, Chlamydephorinae

Hunterslugs are primarily predators, but will also occasionally eat plant matter. They have been recorded eating pill millipedes, snails, other arthropods, and soft-bodied invertebrates such as earthworms. The prey is subdued by injecting a toxin into its flesh. Found in South Africa.

HORROR WEEK- FOTD #147 : zombie-ant fungus! (ophiocordyceps unilateralis)

the zombie-ant fungus is an insect-pathogenic fungus that infects & controls the muscular system of an ant. it is a member of the ophiocordycipitaceae family, & has received notoriety in popular media after inspiring parts of the hit series & game 'the last of us'. it mainly occurs in tropical forest ecosystems :-)

the big question : will it kill me?? only if you're an ant :-) if you're an ant, the fungus will take control of your body - not your mind, as is commonly falsely believed - force you to climb about a foot off the ground into a tree, latch your jaw into a "death grip" on the vein of a leaf, & sprout from your body !! you will be eaten from the inside.
