Description
Insect destroyers are fascinating parasites of insects and other arthropods. They infect their hosts, causing behavioral changes that aid in spore dispersal. Some species can create zombie-like effects in infected insects. Insect destroyers have specialized structures for forcibly ejecting spores, allowing for efficient spread. Their life cycle is complex, involving both sexual and asexual reproduction stages.
