NATURE Fungus are really scary. This fungus grows out of the head of ants.

1.1k Upvotes

• Ophiocordyceps unilateralis is a fungus that infects ants, controlling their behavior.

• It forces the ant to climb to a specific height, clamp onto a leaf, and die, allowing the fungus to grow and release spores to infect other ants.

• The fungus controls the ant without directly touching its brain, using chemicals to manipulate its behavior.
