    WOAH. That last part about the fungi taking over the bug's body is disturbing and . The narration says that it consequently keeps the bug population under control.

    i know! the part where the ant goes mad is disturbing too. it's crazy how the infection in the mind drives it to climb upward all disoriented. probably so it gets enough height that when the spores burst they will fall on the ground evenly to nail more insect hosts

    yeah i hated that part. don't watch the american version they're airing on Discovery because they replace david attenborough's narration with sigourney weaver and she is flat and mega-boring. Why they did that, i don't know.

    they film these in such a powerful way. I almost wept over the hopelessness of the funguses taking over the ants.
    then i looked over at the counter in the kitchen and had to check myself

    It's going to be a real loss when Attenborough retires, these films just aren't the same without him.
    Planet Earth was amazingly beautiful. The military issue camera that they're now using on their helicopters is just mind blowing.


    But if you like your creepy crawlies then you have to see this.
