Right. I guess it's there all the time. 19 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, but a bunch of zombie cicadas with 20 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: the fungal disease that makes them hyper sexual will descend 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: on the East Coast this summer. I have that same disease. 22 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: It makes me hyper sexual. I don't have the SCD 23 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: part though. These cicadas are infected with a sexually transmitted 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: fungal pathogen that makes their genitals fall off, and it 25 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,479 Speaker 1: places their entire backside with a chalky white stub shut off. 26 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: A professor of forest psychology at West Virginia University said, 27 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: the infected cicadas can still go around and do their 28 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: normal activities. It basically amounts of flying around and mating 29 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: with other cicadas because the fungus causes production of a 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: stamina boosting substances is the X files remix. Yes, it 31 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: also causes sexually frustrated cicadas to try and mate with 32 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: twice as many partners as normal. So for meals, for example, 33 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: they'll continue to try and with females unsuccessfully because again 34 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: their back end is a fungus. They'll also pretend to 35 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: be females to get males to come to those and 36 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: that doubles the number of cicadas that an infected individual 37 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: comes in contact with. Wow. Wow, so your stuff falls 38 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: off and you still need to get some, so you 39 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: just pretend like it's supposed to be that way. 40 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 2: It's not supposed to be here because this is wild wow, 41 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: rapid up cicadas. 42 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: I'm very concerned.

Are you ready. 44 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: The expert urged people not to kill or eat the bugs, 45 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: but instead take photos that researchers can continue to gather data. 46 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: So we have to actually issue a statement.
