The zombie phenomenon is most applicable to human beings. As Merriam-Webster online dictionary states, a zombie is “a person held to resemble the so-called walking dead; a person markedly strange in appearance or behavior.” Of course there are many other ways to explain the zombie phenomenon, but this automaton aspect better explains nature’s living dead. As we know, or at least have observed in American culture, the zombie phenomenon focuses on humanity, but this leaves concern for how animals are affected or what becomes of them. Keeping this in mind, I think this is an important concept to consider; however, I also think that we tend to overlook how insects may contribute or be affected by the zombie phenomenon. In fact, insects have been implementing processes of zombification thr

Keeping this in mind, I think this is an important concept to consider; however, I also think that we tend to overlook how insects may contribute or be affected by the zombie phenomenon. In fact, insects have been implementing processes of zombification through parasitism as part of their life cycles. Parasites are defined as “an organism living in, with, or on another organism in parasitism; something that resembles a biological parasite in dependence on something else for existence or support without making a useful or adequate return” (Merriam-Webster, “Parasite”). Although there are many instances to support insect zombification, provided below is an example below focusing on parasite life cycles that can potentially impact humanity.
