Well, with the recent (possibly justified) zombie panic, I was surprised to find this article in my Slashdot RSS feed:
An excerpt from the original article:
It sounds like something out of science fiction: zombie fire ants. But it’s all too real.
Fire ants wander aimlessly away from the mound.
Eventually their heads fall off, and they die.
The strange part is that researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M’s AgriLife Extension Service say making “zombies” out of fire ants is a good thing.
