This is what happens if you consume mentos with pepsi.Your ass blows up

[youtoubakias]

@a55kika18 HA HA HA though i feel bad for the poor creature it is funny though to see a man blows up his ass!

[ArUlric7]

isnt this originally called the zombie fungi? because of it's tendency to indeed mindcontroll it's host towards a beneficial location?

i think i saw it in a documentary of ants before.

cool footage btw !

[rickiex]

just wait for the spores to pop out ^^

[TiN0350]

radioactive grasshopper!!!

[EnragedTurkey]

looks like he was holding on for the biggest shit of his life!

[ledzepplinfan96]

wow that was one gay video

[420JustLegalizeIt]

I saw shit kinda like this in a parking lot. I was with a friend there and he saw a cricket by the sidewalk, all he did was step on the ass. The crickets guts were showing and I noticed this really thin worm crawled out, he burned it alive with his lighter. I'm not completely sure, but it looked like the worm was about 3 inches in length. It was pretty gross.

[NaiveXIIIAixian]

Zombie grasshoppes. YOU SCARY.

[hipie63]

[TechyDan]

the fungus is spreading... we're gonna need stronger sprays

[msrienne3d]

[noodow715]

do cordecepts ever affect humans in a bad way?

[geroldkid]

Reminds me of how cordyceps fungi work. It has that same parasitic mind control function.

[onesian]

i got shivers just watching this lol..

[Lisalove]

*Shudder*

[kokonutbaby1]

well i need something to kill off mine..i have swarms of grasshoppers every yr and they eat up everything, my garden, my flowers, plants everything..birds are not eating them..i cant grow anything and they even jump on me when i go out there..im sick of it...

[Pestinha92]

Buy lots of nephentes and other carnivours plants, or buy some special cactus that have an scent wich scares bugs away(forgot name).

[MightyJustas]

I kept crickets for my pet spiders, and they started dying, i think they caught this damn fungus. Their bellys simply dripped down like snots

[sigma1920]

wow, that is bloody interesting!!

do u have any vids or pics of the infected crickets?

did ur pet spiders eat them?

if so, did they get sick, too?

im sorry about my late response.

[MightyJustas]

No, spiders didnt catch anything, theyre alright. I heard that this disease affects only crickets because of some funghi stuff and high humidity..

Maybe its called nosematosis or nematosis, just cant remember it properly... But the sympthoms are stomach problems: they flips over on the back, flicks their legs and after a while "pukes" some brown stuff. But its not what were talking about... Ooorr it could be this, just remembered: Nosema_apis, check out wikipedia..

[MightyJustas]

To be honest, i dont know really whats happening to those crickets, at the first sight it looks like they are rotting inside...

[sigma1920]

appreciate the interesting info.

[LostAngel01234]

The Grass hopper is HUGE!!

[sigma1920]

hi, thx 4 watching.

i think this species is middle-sized (25-30mm in body length) among japanese grasshoppers.

it has vestigial short wings even in adult.

[eggplantparrot]

@LostAngel01234 i've seen and caught ones close to 10 CM in china

[S1lentScream]

Very interesting. Excellent video.

[sigma1920]

thanks!

dead hoppers like this are common in this season around here.

how about in north america?

i would like to record their slow death and decay in time-lapse movie someday.

[S1lentScream]

Grasshoppers don't typically die out en mass here in North America.

Also its fairly uncommon to find a dead hopper because birds will usually find them or their corpses and eat it. There are no fungal strains like this locust fungus here either.

[sigma1920]

thx for the interesting feedback!

the other day, i witnessed a yellow hornet trying to bite a corpse of infected hopper which clung to the grass.
