Zombie Cicadas

Who said #Zombies don't exist?!! 
Some #cicadas get infected by a fungus called Massospora, which eats them from inside, feasting with their internal organs but leaving the brain untouched so it can control the corpse.
The dead cicada walk and mate with others to transmit the infection.
In this video you will see how the fungus controls the cicada's brain making the insect walk like a puppet.

#creepy and #fascinating at the same time!!!
