Because British people make documentaries sound smart :P

You can't have that fungus around, unless you live in an area that has constant tropical weather. (Very hot and humid) and I don't think it'll be very wise to have it around either lol :P
 
Ants are those kind of insects I could sit and watch for hours when I was younger. I love them <3

i live in the jungle ;)
 
yup, Planet Earth and The Blue Planet ROCK
some of the best stuff i've seen....very little evolution reference too!
 
Planet Earth is the best. Check out the Caves episode, my FAV. Anyways the coolest thing about that fungus is how specific it is. There is a different cortyceps fungus for any and every species capable of being "infected" by it. That is wicked.

What makes it more awesome is that it keeps the insect population at a level where a specific insect won't have the upper hand.
