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.
Ah interesting. It has been a very damp summer.
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.
Heat? Just guessing
Maybe? Weird thing is there were no other dead ones nearby. Just on this one blade of grass.
