☆ Strange fungus turns cicadas into zombies
  + stars: | 2024-04-15 | by ( Kate Golembiewski | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
But some of these insects won’t succeed in their goal of procreating — instead, they’ll be controlled like zombies into spreading a strange fungus that hijacks cicadas’ bodies and behavior. At some point, the insects are exposed to spores of the fungus Massospora cicadina. Courtesy Angie Macias/WVUDespite having a chalky gumdrop of spores instead of genitals, the infected cicadas still attempt to mate, with gusto. Both male and female cicadas infected with Massospora flick their wings to draw in amorous, soon-to-be-infected males. But attempting to mate is just one part of how infected cicadas spread the fungus.

The couple, who started tinkering in their apartment kitchen in 2019 in an effort to recreate the breakfast tacos Jaramillo grew up eating, raised $180,000 from family and friends to bring their restaurant to life. That's a relatively small amount for opening a brand-new restaurant, noted May: "We were able to do it on a pretty shoestring budget." When they raised money, they didn't give up any equity, meaning Jaramillo and May own 100% of the company. "I think we both have strong entrepreneurial instincts but we don't come from a finance or a business background," said May. "There's a certain value to the human piece that you get when you come to the shop," said May.
