ant (scientific name: Dinoponera mutica) infected with fungus (scientific name: Ophiocordyceps sp). The fungus forces the ant to climb off the forest floor and bite down on a leaf or branch. The fungus then kills the ant, grows out of its body, and releases spores that will infect more ants. The ants position when it dies helps the fungus disperse its spores more effectively. Photography Location: Adolfo Ducke Reserve, Manaus, Brazil. Specimen collected from southwest Brazil. Research Contact: David Hughes, Professor at Penn State University, email: dph14@psu.edu.
