A zombie bug typically refers to an insect that has been infected by a parasite, such as a fungus or a virus, which manipulates its behavior. For example, a well-known case is the Ophiocordyceps fungus, which infects ants, causing them to climb to elevated locations before they die, allowing the fungus to spread its spores. These infected insects may exhibit unusual physical changes, such as a distorted body shape or fungal growths protruding from their bodies. Overall, a "zombie bug" appears altered and often lifeless, displaying signs of parasitic control.
