Entomophthora sp. (genus) (Puppeteer Fungus)

https://imafungus.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s43008-021-00084-w

The Puppeteer fungus infects flies, invading their nervous system and eating them from the inside out. In their death throes, the infected flies – like puppets on a string – obligingly climb to a high point and spread their wings, exposing their abdomen and allowing the fungus to shoot its spores as widely as possible to infect new flies.

Entomophthora sp. (genus) is listed in the following regions:

Canberra & Southern Tablelands
