https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/24/science/ant-zombies-fungus.html

(for other coverage, simply search "zombie ant fungus")

although this one's headline in print wasn't shabby, and the animated gif on the
web page is very sfnal
Print: Leeches, Insects and Birds Share the Spotlight With Vampires

Meet the Bloodsuckers
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/28/science/vampires-blood-leeches.html

and it's got a great lede sentence:

    "It has been a big year for leeches."
