Different parasitoid wasp species are know to lay their eggs on a spider’s back and by inoculating the spider with the a molting hormone, the wasp induces the spider to make a distinct web for the wasp’s cocoon. The parasitic wasp forces the spider to texture a special web to dangle the wasp cocoon just before it kills the spider. The zombification includes changing web-spinning designs by taking over the spider hormone. The spider’s web construction changes from choosing a site to adjusting numerous designs that effect the shelter and home for its cocoon. The spider’s brain is altered with psychotropic chemicals that the spider’s circulatory system delivers. After eating the spider, this young wasp hangs from the spider’s molting web.
