* (Pictured above) Wildlife documentaries can sometimes show you the more unsettling side of nature, but few have been so unnerving as the segment focusing on ants infected by the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuKjBIBBAL8 parasitic Cordyceps fungus]]. The intimate macro view of these creatures' distress as the fungus spreading through their brains modifies their behavior to suit its needs makes it seem far more personal than simply a bunch of minute insects, and that's even before the BodyHorror kicks in as the fungus sprouts from the deceased ant's head, growing until it can release its spores across the colony below. And then, because that's simply not horrifying enough, they go ahead and show a montage of various other insect species' Cordyceps-sprouting corpses whilst the eerily haunting BackgroundMusic plays, the camera rotating slowly around each one to ensure that no detail is missed. ''YIKES''. Creator/DavidAttenborough's matter-of-fact narration over the whole thing does nothing to mitigate its effect. And yes, this is the main inspiration for the infected in VideoGame/TheLastOfUs.
