Virtual Author Talk: Rise of the Zombie Bugs with Mindy Weisberger Online
Join us for this exciting virtual program with author Mindy Weisberger!
Zombies aren't just the stuff of nightmares. Explore the fascinating world of real-life insect zombification.
Zombies are all around us—insect zombies, that is. In Rise of the Zombie Bugs, Mindy Weisberger explores the eerie yet fascinating phenomenon of real-life zombification in the insect class and among other invertebrates. Zombifying parasites reproduce by rewriting their victims' neurochemistry, transforming them into the "walking dead": armies of cicadas, spiders, and other hosts that helplessly follow a zombifier's commands, living only to serve the parasite's needs until death's sweet release (and often beyond).
