It's true: Zombies exist. 🧟 🧟 🧟 Well, zombie insects. And no one is safe — well, no bugs anyway. The emerald cockroach wasp — the small green insect pictured inside this roach — seeks out cockroaches so it can *stab their brains* with its stinger and control their minds. “It doesn't kill the roach, nor does it sedate it,” explains science writer Ed Yong. “The roach could walk away or fly or run if it chose to but it doesn't choose to, because the venom nixes its motivation to walk, and only that. The wasp basically unchecks the escape-from-danger box in the roach's operating system.” Scary! This is just one of the many parasitic relationships studied by Yong. Why does he love parasites so much? Because their lives are unexpected and full of plot twists — just like a good story!
