Playing for Keeps
Unframed Print. 11 x 8.5 in. Watercolor with ink overlay.
The Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, also known as Cordyceps or zombie-ant fungus is a particular parasitic fungus that infects insects such as ants and spiders with its spores. This Fungus drains its host of nutrients before filling the body with spores, letting the fungus reproduce. This results in the insects body appearing zombie like, with grayish, cloudy eyes, impairment of body movement and eventually…long thin mushrooms growing from its skeleton.
