In 2021, even the bugs are transexual
>As if showing up to a rave after taking a party drug, cicadas infected with a certain fungus become endlessly energetic (cue the techno music) and eager for sex. The downside? Rather than a blissful night of dancing, these insects lose their butts * literally.
>Though scientists knew about this fungus-fueled bug rave, they recently identified the ingredients that made it happen. The researchers, from the University of West Virginia, identified traces of amphetamines and hallucinogens in cicadas infected with a Massopora fungus. The upshot for the fungus is less grim, as the strange changes in cicada behavior lead to the propagation of the fungus itself, which is transmitted sexually. Males infected by Massopora will even try to copulate with one another, imitating the behavior of a female cicada in order to lure an unsuspecting male - another potential host for the zombie-like fungus.
The real question is though, can you get a meth high from eating bugs infected with this fungus? Some east coast fag confirm this please.
