I've studied that!!!!!
(Thanks for the link)
:-)Well... A similar phenomena really... There is a bacteria (or whatever) that gets into ants brains and gets them running up a blade of grass. They are much more likely to get eaten by a bird from there. And thats what the bacteria (or whatever) needs to do... To get eaten by a bird. For the next part of its life cycle or whatever.
(I'm a lot sketchy on the facts)
But the point is.....
Is this a form of mind control?
Thought insertion???
Does it implant the thought 'must run up blade of grass now'
How about 'must get close as possible to the light / sun'?????
How on earth does it do that?Interesting...

That was fascinating. It opens up a whole new perspective on the intricate mechanisms involved in what it takes to survive as a species and there's just so much you could think about in how far this can go ...

I am totally phobic of grasshoppers. I nearly had a wreck one time because one was on my leg and started moving around right when I got on the highway. Oh, but the worm thing is gross too.
