Attack of the Killer Fungi--Better Than Science Fiction

Rain forests are amazing places.  1 acre can have 80,000 species of insects.  Food is plentiful.  Mother Nature has some mysterious ways of keeping the population under control.  Not always pretty, but always amazing.

There can be 3 million ants on this acre of land.  Ants do not have many predators, so step in fungi:  If an attack isn't external, it is internal.

The link below shows how the fungi attacks ants and other insects.  I am sure science fiction writers must watch the insect world for their ideas!
