Nightmare fuel from today's bugging: a fully funginated ex-cicada
2y 9mon ago by mander.xyz/u/Bugger in entomology@mander.xyz from mander.xyz

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 😬
