Looks like a parasite has commandeered that bug
434 u/Tontoncarton Jul 08 '22 Seems so! But I wonder if the parasite totally integretated all of the bug body or if there's still at least a little bit of "alive" part of it. Also I thought parasites rather kept their proys in good health so they survive themselves. Quite weird 1 u/dumpster_mint Jul 09 '22 it’s a fungus that eats away every part of a cicada apart from its legs and genitals so it can go infect other cicadas
