Zombie Fire Ants

posted Thursday, 14 May 2009

     How cool is this? Scientists have discovered a type of fly that will lay eggs on the dreaded fire ants, which then essentially turn the ants into zombies, thereby rendering them harmless:

"The maggot that hatches inside the ant eats away at the brain, and the ant starts exhibiting what some might say is zombie-like behavior."

      You can either use your imagination to ponder this awesomeness or read all about it right here while you listen to these zombie/ant tunes.

Marcie, I hesitate to say these three words but, my dear, you are wrong. Zombies? Harmless? No sir, absolutely not. And I speak as something of an expert on zombies and zombie music just now, of which more will be revealed in due course.

Normally I find brain-eating disgusting, but since fire ants are the victims--Standing ovation! Lizards are great, but BUGS--EWWW. Now where are the brain-eating fly larvae that turn aphids into zombies that won't destroy my melons and cucumbers? Eh???

And I'm sure glad to know there's a zombie expert I can call on in a pinch. ;)

linda--i guess that begs the question, do aphids have brains??? ;-) or, is it possible to find some lizards that feed on fire ants?

My darling little horned lizards actually do eat ants, just not fire ants. They prefer the big, red kind that aren't fire ants but bite like hell anyway.
