I'm fine with fighting zombie people but having to combat flies as well from landing on you is just too much.

Bee cool everybody.

 

[CoconutTank]

So... this thing about flies injecting eggs into bees... is this something that flies have always been able to do, or is this fairly recent behavior?

 

[Szu]

 

[RS4-]

Imagine a fly large enough to do this to humans.

2 inch large larvae writhing around in your brain making you run around and acting erratically for a few hours until you die.

Sounds republican

That species of fly has been around for a while but the zombee thing is relatively recent.

You motherfuckers. Climate change is gonna kill us all. Goddammit congress you goof off goldbricking fatcats in bad suits with shitty mistresses who hate your guts and children that aren't yours.

we are seeing more shit we used to have movies about compacted into a yearly time frame than normal. And that is literally not cool.

Is no one else freaked out about these kinds of things becoming a migratory vector instead of a localized eco-effect? Why is shit becoming mobile and coming to get us now?

Can't be any worse than SCP-439

What if this begins to infect humans at the same time that they cordyceps fungus does and we make the zombie factions fight each other?

Yeah the further this spreads the more fucked up food production is going to get: bees are vital for most crop fertilization.

 

[Kurdel]

Well, there is this.

They are easily recognized because they lack mouthparts (as is true of other Oestrid flies).

 

[RumblingRosco]

... cheese cloth is a thing?

What? I mean yeah. Did you think it was just a work of fictional stories or something?

Why did I read Virginia as Vagina?

First real life spores from a fungus and now this. I need to gey the bunker ready.

Can't be any worse than SCP-439

Addendum: In a particularly disturbing development, Dr. ██████ performed a range of experiments to determine the extent of damage to the host body after it has finished the transformation into a hive. While it had been previously discovered in autopsy that portions of the brain are hollowed out to serve as food, others are left intact, presumably to regulate what bodily functions continue. During the last round of experimentation, ██████ took the opportunity to examine a hive at close range shortly after transformation. While the eyes are eventually reached and used as a food source, at the point ██████ performed her examination, they were still intact. Opening the eyelids, and examining them with a flashlight, ██████ discovered that the host's eyes followed the beam. Experimentation was terminated and no further testing is scheduled.

[Lightning_Roller]

What the fuck is going on here? What is happening to the ecosystem to make zombees! Oh wait...global warming. We really are fucked, aren't we?

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

H-hey, usually these crazy GAF threads happen somewhere else...not where I actually live!

 

[Cameron122]

the end times have bee-gun

 

[Relix]

This is how the apocalypse begins

 

[Elitist1945]

So wouldn't this make them ZomBees?

This actually made me laugh so hard.

 

[ElFly]

One day the Roanokean beekeepers are going to find an empty honeycomb, with only the word "CROATOAN" written in honey inside.

 

[7DollarHagane]

why isn't there more effort on fly population reduction?

 

[Lebon14]

Man... Without bees, there's no flora They're a necessary evil. I hope they find something to counter it.

AMC presents The Flying Dead

Zombees

You guys aren't even trying. lol

 

[Effect]

Nah. SyFy will beat everyone to it with a film simply called "Zombie Bees".

 

[akira28]

and what lights did they have to follow before mankind? How old is this evolutionary trick?

 

[Madao]

the first thing that came to mind after reading the OP was Alien.

 

[HStallion]

Remember son, only the roaches are the last ones standing.

Roaches ain't got SHIT on Water Bears i.e. Tardigrades! Nuke the world to Hell and back, they won't give a shit.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade

Tardigrades are notable for being perhaps the most durable of known organisms: they can survive extreme conditions that would be rapidly fatal to nearly all other known life forms. They can withstand temperature ranges from 1 K (−458 °F; −272 °C) to about 420 K (300 °F; 150 °C),[7] pressures about six times greater than those found in the deepest ocean trenches, ionizing radiation at doses hundreds of times higher than the lethal dose for a human, and the vacuum of outer space.[8] They can go without food or water for more than 30 years, drying out to the point where they are 3% or less water, only to rehydrate, forage, and reproduce.[3][9][10][11]

Even nature has to stuff zombies down our throats. Stop it!

[Comfort Jones]

Finally an excuse to use this gif.

 

[fr0st]

Why don't these fliers go for wasps since they're useless anyways.

 

[BlackJace]

Sounds like a SyFy original flick

 

[Ozigizo]

The Cranberries wrote a song about this.

 

[Salbug]

Protect the bees. :<

Should have been the first post.

2016 strikes again...

 

[Saganator]

Parasites that turn other species into zombies are so fascinating. Toxoplasma gondii is in about half the world's population. It alters the behavior of rats so they'll get eaten by cats, and then the parasite comes out in cat shit and hopes to get into the human body to live for good. Some studies have suggested Toxoplasmosis could cause schizophrenia in some people.
