The flies "dive-bomb" the fire ants and lay eggs, and then the maggot that hatches inside the ant eats away at the brain. Later, the ant gets up and starts wandering for about two weeks...
Actually, the parasite world is filled with Gothic horror. Maybe we'll explore this later on.

Yeah, I've seen this video in Geekologie and it gave me the creeps. I'd prefer zombies to stay in the game and that would be lucky for insects as well. Speaking of luck, I tried my luck and I submitted an entry for a contest that can win me 500,000 gold just by simply giving a name to the twitter pig! You can try your luck as well, just visit: wowgoldpig.blogspot.com
