  3. It’s a tiny penguin with a glass of g&t and slice of lemon on his head

  8. Looks like a parasitic fungus. Cordyceps or a similar type of entomopathogenic fungus. Poor little guy.

  9. He’s in disguise, trying to avoid an annoying insect chum?

  12. Looks like a cockroach has fallen from space and buried in his head.. I’d love to know a serious answer though, doesn’t look normal ?

  13. I feel like this is gonna be another one of the ‘aint nature amazing/scary/cruel’ example. Some parasitic organism is taking over the poor thing, isn’t it? 😭

  14. Worth putting on r/whatisit or r/whatisthisbug – would be interested to know the actual answer

  15. It looks like it’s covered in honey from a beehive plus some rubbish?

  17. Is that some of that zombie mind controlling fungus?

  20. It’s her Carmen Miranda outfit.

    It looks like a perfectly aimed bird shit. Hope someone has the proper answer.

  21. Thought he was wearing a little lego helmet for a.minute there

  22. Have you ever seen ‘the last of us’?

    It’s that, but for grasshoppers.

  24. Might be worth an ask on r/biology.

    I’m going to guess that it’s now a zombie with very little effort to actually figure it out! ^Sorry!
