I guess I'm back to Mastodon as part of my LinkedIn detox...

The zombie fungus, having manipulated its ant host to bite into a leaf of the right height, kills the animal, consumes it, and overflows through the joints.

(Ophiocordyceps on Camponotus atriceps, Peru).

OK, #chemistry Mastodon: I'm compiling a list of illegal, silly and whimsical molecules (thank @sellathechemist for this).
And I need your help.
I'll start with the silliest named of the lot: arsole.

More suggestions welcome!
