Zombie Fire Ants Invade Texas!

By brownkidd on May 13th, 2009 in LOL

Texas doesn’t fuck around when it comes to ant infestations. To combat a recent fire ant infestation, researchers have released parasitic Phorid flies all accross the state. The flies lay eggs on the ants and when they hatch, the larvae eats the brain. Afterwards, the ant gets up and starts walking around for about two weeks and then its head falls off.

So when these Phorid flies evolve and can turn humans into the walking dead, we have Texas to blame. Thanks, Texas.

  • I'm surprised this has taken such a forefront because there are so many parasitic insects, including wasps, and even bed bugs which reproduce in this manner. I will admit, it is cool that the heads fall off.
  • You're welcome.


    If this DOES evolve to humans, at least we only have to wait them out a couple of weeks till their heads fall off. Then we just gotta go clean up the headless corpses.
