A dead weevil with a fungus fruiting body growing out of it

A dead weevil with a fungus fruiting body growing out of it

Look. At. This. (!). A fungus spore landed on this weevil. Grew inside and caused it to climb to the top of this plant- while the fungus killed it. Consumed its body. Used that energy to shoot up a red fruiting body to release more spores. To zombify more weevils. A mind controlling killer fungus.

β€œThis trabecular bone is highly anisotropic with trabecular orientations reflecting the mechanical load distribution along the limb” very interesting . I didn’t know bone could grow like that
