Ophiocordyceps stylophora belongs to a group of fungi that are known for their unique parasitic relationship with insects. Typically, ophiocordyceps stylophora infects its host and ultimately takes control of its behavior, manipulating the insect to climb to an elevated position. This benefits the fungus by providing an optimal environment for spore dispersal to infect new hosts.
