Maggots Exploding From a Queen Ant's Body | GROSS FOOTAGE

Endoparasitic maggots exploding from a queen ant's body is one of the worst fates any queen ant could suffer through. One of the queen ants from my collection is showing signs of such maggot endoparasitism and I asked for your help to decide on what to do with the queen. This has to be one of the grossest yet informative episodes I've ever filmed on the channel. Enjoy! Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

This information is pretty accurate, except that the phorids lay their eggs INTO the body of the ant, not ON the exoskeleton. The females of the flies have sharp, piercing egg-layers that can pierce the membrane between the hard sclerites of the ant. The species of fly is called Trucidophora camponoti.

that's why i hate parasites. not because of how gross they are, but because of the fact that when some animals are working hard just to survive, the parasites are infecting and doing literally nothing at the cost of their victim.

AC answer of the week: Ant-decapitating flies belong to the genus Apocephalus. The Zombie fly also belongs to this genus. Crypt, or phorid flies also belong to this genus. :)
