Zombie Grasshoppers

Imagine this: a worm infects a grasshopper and eats everything inside the grasshopper not required for short-term survival. It then compels the grasshopper to find some body of water and drown itself. The worm is returned to its aquatic home, nourished, and the zombie grasshopper dies! Holy shit!

It's true. This actually happens. Check out this NY Times article (registration may be required).

If you ask me, this parasitic worm makes a far better story than the stupid viruses in zombie films. Let this be a lesson to film producers worldwide.
