    Most likely a fungus. There are fungi that trigger an insect to climb to a high(er) point before death, that way the spores have the potential to travel farther and infect more insects.

        There other pathogens that will do things like this too, the insect world can be a horror show. 🫣

          The flies are really bad this year so I say bring the horrors on.

          Though they are feeding the local finch population quite well.
