From today's chapter of "Nature, You Freaky" comes this fungally parasitized cicada I found today. I'm far from any kind of mycologist or parasitologist so if anyone's got more information I'd love to hear. It's almost beautiful, in a horrifying sort of way.

Amazing. Any ideas on fungal species? Maybe Beauveria?

Thanks for the goosebumps ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
