well Hughes is concerned of the plant's extinction brought about by global warming..and it's very interesting that the parasite uses mind control not to feed but to spread..

nice find Sir Chip..
so the spores attached to ants
acts as a mind control/virus
which creates a parasite hosts relationship

naa say spore na mutorok sa lawas sa ant ... and the worker and will carry the dead body very far ... from the colony..
