10 ZOMBIE ANIMALS Controlled By PARASITES 🦟😱
Zombies! Brain-eating creatures that are controlled by a virus. Believe it or not! These characters exist in the animal kingdom, but in this case, parasites control them. Get ready to discover the dark side of nature!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grasshopper
Let’s start with one of the singers in nature. Unfortunately, I didn’t come to talk to you about how wonderful the grasshoppers are but how much they suffer from being controlled by the Strepsiptera...

Cephalotes atratus
This ant species likes to grow fungi on chewed leaves, and it’s found in central and southern America and parts of the southern United States.

Succinea putris
These little snails are all over Costa Rica and Mexico. They live under leaf litter, but unfortunately, the fate of snails is very sad.

European pine sawfly caterpillar
This caterpillar has a quiet lifestyle. But it all changes when the parasite Baculovirus attacks the caterpillar.

Gypsy moth caterpillar
Even though these creatures are harmless to everybody, they’re affected by the Glyptapanteles wasps, and this is the most shocking case on the list due to the cruelty rating.

Western honey bee
Bees! These little insects are very necessary because they produce honey and pollinate flowers. But not even them are safe from the well-known zombie fly.

Wood cricket
These amazing insects need to regulate their body temperature and they do it by singing. But their biggest concern is not keeping warm, but it’s the Gordian worm.

Cobweb spider
Arachnids may not be pleasant to humans but no spider deserves being infested so ruthlessly. The Zatypota Percontatoria wasps inject their eggs into the poor spider’s abdomen.

American cockroach
I know seeing a roach around your house isn’t nice. You get rid of roaches by using an insecticide or by stepping on them.

Carpenter ant
The carpenter ant is named so because it can chew into wooden structures to build their nests, and yet they can’t get out of turning into zombies.
