GSG Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Thu Mar 10, 11:52 am ET “Zombie” ants fall victim to mind-control fungus By Mike Krumboltz 'Zombie ants' may sound like the title of an Ed Wood movie, but, according to National Geographic, they are quite real. Oddly, there's nothing very zombie-like about the actual ants. It's only when a particular fungus takes over the ant's brain that things get weird. http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20110310/od_yblog_upshot/zombie-ants-fall-victim-to-mind-control-fungus If you follow the link there is a short slideshow that shows the stages of the "mind control."
