Nature can be rather disturbing at times, but amazing too!
Here are a couple of examples of entomopathogenic fungi I've seen across New Zealand - that's fungi which infect and kill invertebrates (yep, 'The Last of Us' style).
Can you tell what the unfortunate hosts were?

Wow! Those fruiting bodies on the spider are gruesomely pretty, whereas the wasp looks like it died badly! Cracking photographs.
