Tarantula Infected With Parasitic Fungi
It’s hard to believe that this is actually a tarantula because it looks more like some kind of creature from another planet. But this spider isn’t some kind of mutant as a result of radiation. It’s infected with Cordycipitaceae, a type of parasitic fungi that used to infect only plants but has since adapted to infect animals like this tarantula. This is kind of scary because it’s possible that it’s only a matter of time before it migrates to humans.
