Anand's image of a parasite-infected ladybug on the cover of National Geographic Magazine. When a female wasp stings a ladybug, it leaves behind a single egg. After the egg hatches, the larva begins to eat its host from the inside out. When ready, the parasite emerges and spins a cocoon between the ladybug’s legs. Though its body is now free of the tormentor, the bug remains enslaved, standing over the cocoon and protecting it from potential predators.

A woolly false vampire bat flaps into a moonlit night to get dinner. For rodents and other small creatures off Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, the night is an especially dangerous time, as carnivorous bats leave their roosts seeking prey. (credit: Anand Varma)

This Anna’s hummingbird shakes off rain as a wet dog does, with an oscillation of its head and body. According to researchers at UC Berkeley, each twist lasts four-hundredths of a second and subjects the bird’s head to 34 times the force of gravity. (credit: Anand Varma)

In dense vegetation, hummingbirds must dodge and weave around branches and vines. Marc Badger of UC Berkeley elicits such acrobatics in the lab by having birds fly through small apertures, a situation the photographer recreated here. (credit: Anand Varma)

When spores of the fungus Ophiocordyceps land on an ant, they penetrate its exoskeleton and enter its brain, compelling the host to leave its normal habitat on the forest floor and scale a nearby tree. Fungal stalks then burst from the ant’s husk and rain spores onto ants below to begin the process again. (credit: Anand Varma)

The forked tongue of this Anna’s hummingbird can be seen through the glass vessel from which it’s drinking artificial nectar. To keep the birds healthy in captivity, the artificial nectar they’re fed contains protein powder and other nutrients, seen here as white specks. (credit: Anand Varma)

By filling the air with a fine mist using an ultrasonic fogger, researchers can observe the tornado-like vortices that this Anna’s hummingbird sheds at the end of each half-stroke— when its wings flip more than 90 degrees and reverse course. (credit: Anand Varma)

Larvae of the horsehair worm infiltrate the houe cricket when it scavenges dead insects, then grow inside it. When the worm is ready to emerge, it alters the brain of its host, driving the cricket to abandon the safety of land and take a suicidal leap into the nearest body of water. As the cricket drowns, an adult worm emerges, sometimes a foot in length. (credit: Anand Varma)
