A mysterious fungus is turning spiders into real-life 'zombies,' consuming their organs and taking control of their behavior.
Known as Gibellula attenboroughii, the fungus attaches to the spider, invades its body and devours it from the inside out.
It then manipulates the spider's brain chemistry, altering dopamine levels to force the insect out of its web and into the open, where it ultimately
dies.
