As the promoting craze has died down, I've recently had the opportunity to sit down and do what I do best...draw! More specifically, draw zombie bugs! What's that you say? Zombie bugs? I don't want to give too much away right now, especially as we're waiting for Issue #0 to get shipped out. But we're going to have some 'fun' with 'Cyrus' and some really disturbing flashbacks. Zombie bugs! What's better than bugs!?! Zombie bugs!
But Paul, what on earth is this zombie bug concept? Surely this is unheard of in the insect world.
This is untrue. There are a number of reports of 'zombie' insects in the real world. Which is a perfect segway into today's Insect-O-Fact!
Insect-O-Fact #8
Zombie Bugs: The living dead may not be as far-fetched an idea as would have previously been assumed, at least not in the world of insects. Cockroaches, for instance, can reportedly survive long after their head has been severed. This, ofcourse, is only the tip of the ice berg.
Phorid flies are reputed for laying their eggs in fire ants, after which the maggot hatches and feasts on the insides of its host. the ant is reduced to a wandering 'zombie'. The Jewel wasps attack cockroaches in a similar fashion.
Zombies are among us....
