Scientists have described a fungus that causes male flies to engage in necrophilia
The fungus infects the body of the female, gradually eating her from the inside. About six days after infection, the insect dies, and the fungus begins releasing chemicals that attract males. Over time, the corpses become more attractive: Thus, only 15% mated with 3-8 hour-old corpses and 73% of males preferred the corpses of females 25-30 hours old.
After mating, fungal pores enter the body of male flies - thus the fungus spreads further.

«We cannot state it emphatically enough: freedom is an illusion. Nature is not our mother, she is “cruel,” “merciless,” and yes, “oppressive.” Or at least that is how the hyper-civilized would see it. But for us, all this merely is, and what has always been. We don’t tremble at the movement of the tectonic plates, or when the tsunami makes a particular eco-system disappear. Nor are we taken aback when a crocodile eats its young or a tribe of savages strangles its [REDACTED]. We got rid of our civilized prejudices, we killed our moral being. We blew to pieces those who sought to domesticate our bodies and minds. We accept reality, we look our truth in the eyes and we are NOT afraid.» - Against the World-Builders - Eco-extremists respond to critics.
