Fly Turns Ant Into Zombie, Eats Brains

I have always held that if the insects were to suddenly disappear, we humans would quickly follow. But if we humans were first to suddenly disappear, the insects wouldn't notice. It's the ants who have always really ruled the world. And fire ants have been fearsome rulers.

But now National Geographic reports that some pesky scientists have found a parasitic fly that turns fire ants into zombies, eats their brains and decapitates them. And they've unleashed millions of them in the fight against the spread of fire ants.

Hope they don't like humans. Or chihuahuas. Just sayin'.
