insane. all of this is so cool to read about. wdym male flies prefer fungus-infected female corpses over living, healthy females? because the fungus growing inside them makes them bigger, as if they had more eggs and were more fertile than other females? and the fungus releases pheromones to attract mates, so it can infect them too. and this isn’t even the zombie part! I’ve never loved fungus this much before
