Weird Ass Parasite
I saw the following video on youtube and was instantly inspied for a story.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMfkMGF-UCQ
I am trying to find out more details on this parasite. I want to google it but I can't figure out how to spell the name. It says it multiple times in the video. I'll kep trying to see if I can figure out the correct spelling.
In the meantime, if anyone knows a good site where I could read about these more link it please. Or if you have soem knowledge yourself please share.
EDIT: I am also researching ways to genetically engineer fungi. As always I will searching on my own as well, but if anyone has good information on stuff like that please share.

Try googling it anyway how you think it's spelt, sometimes Google comes up with 'are you searching for so-and-so a word'.

If you watch this version of the video, there is an extra 30 seconds or so -- more talking and more dead bugs. |

I bet it would show up in the top ten hits if you typed in "parasitic fungi ants"...
Keywords, people. Keywords.

Well you can try a slime mould since they can move around..... and codyceps is good idea but you try a human-ceps.... you know what I mean...
