Parasitic fungus (Cordyceps sp.) that has attacked a fly at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station, Orellana Province, Ecuador. This genus of fungus takes control of the nervous system of its host and forces it to find a spot above the forest floor to die. Then the fungal spores can spread to other hosts more effectively.
