Zombie Ants???

Enough about me and my dead birds and my swine flu (which appears to be just a regular ass flu that knocked me off my feet and seems to be getting better).... Let's talk Zombie Ants!!

Scientists in Texas have hired a swarm of tiny phorid flies to like my flu, kick the ass of hordes of fire ants! Apparently, the flies attack the fire ants and lay their eggs inside 'em. The larvae cruise up into the ants' heads, which eventually FALL OFF and the ants just wander aimlessly.... some might say Zombie Like, until the adult fly hatches/the ant dies. How nuts is that?? I see a movie here people.... (ant)Hill of The Dead? (ant)Queen of the Damned? The Fly (that makes ants into zombies)?
