Descripción
An entomopathogenic (kills bugs dead) fungus that penetrates the cuticle of an insect. It then grows within the body of the insect, killing it. It continues to grow, erupting from within the insect and sending out spores to continue the process. It's being studied as a biological control for some insect pests.
I'm hoping to get a better photo of this fungus in the future!
