The Cordyceps fungus, found in various parts of the world, is fascinating for its parasitic relationship with insects and arthropods. Its life cycle begins when the spores land on an insect, germinate, and grow inside it, secreting chemicals that manipulate the host's behavior. Under the control of the fungus, the host climbs to a high place, which favors the development of the Cordyceps. Once mature, the fungus emerges from the insect's body in the form of a spike that releases new spores to continue the cycle.

Il suo ciclo di vita inizia quando le spore atterrano su un insetto, germinano e crescono al suo interno, secernendo sostanze chimiche che manipolano il comportamento dell'ospite. Questo, sotto il controllo del fungo, sale in alto, favorendo lo sviluppo del Cordyceps. Una volta maturo, il fungo emerge dal corpo dell'insetto sotto forma di una spiga che rilascia nuove spore per continuare il ciclo.
