Bookroo's summary

In the heart of tropical forests, ants veer off their usual paths, driven by a mysterious force. Scientists uncover the chilling truth behind these 'zombie ants' and the parasitic fungus that controls them. As the ants' behavior becomes increasingly erratic, the threat to their colonies grows. Discover the eerie phenomenon that turns industrious insects into unwitting hosts, leading them to a grim destiny. What causes this strange transformation, and can the ants' world survive the invasion?

From the publisher

Ants are known for being industrious insects. They follow set paths to find food and are often seen walking in a straight line. If you follow them, they’ll lead you right back to their nest. When scientists found ants that were walking off course in tropical forests, they knew something was wrong. Readers learn all the latest information about these fascinating zombie ants, including what causes their strange behavior and what threat it poses to their species. Full-color photographs show the deadly end of these ants, and fact boxes offer more details about a rare parasitic phenomenon.
