This illustration depicts an ant infected with Ophiocordyceps, a type of parasitic fungi. The Ophiocordyceps fungus, also known as Cordyceps, is seen growing from the body of the ant. The ant, which appears to be from the Camponotini tribe (commonly known as carpenter ants), has prominent growths of the yellow fungi emerging from its head and back. The ant is colored red, highlighting its infestation. This interaction illustrates a specific host-pathogen relationship studied in the fields of mycology and entomology.
