With soundtrack by zombie Whitney Houston.

At the moment, the BBC news website is grouping these two stories together:


Nothing especially noteworthy about that, though it's fun to imagine the first story will not be about a type of wasp which has been discovered to do this; but is news of a particular wasp, and a particular ladybird.

But then, with both headlines rattling round in your brain, you click the second story, and see this:




Now, I've never seen a zombie bodyguard, but my God, that is surely pretty much exactly what one would look like in action (click photo to see the full effect.) Which, I suppose, raises a challenging and important question.

I want to be in that old people's home when my time comes!

I reckon they are both ladybirds and Princess Anne is the wasp. Or maybe Camilla.

What I want to know is how she got the walking dead to stop gnashing at her brains and sit still for the picture. If she's a wasp, she's definitely carrying around some horse tranquilizer.
