Just came across something similar to this while watching planet earth yesterday. I have a feeling that the ant was killed by a parasitic fungus called the Cordyceps.

When an arthropod breaths in the spores of the cordyceps, it is slowly driven insane and the fungus grows from within. Eventually the host will die and these fungus will break out of its body to infect others. It must be a very painful process as most of those hosts seem to die while biting onto something like a stem or a leaf.

Take a look at this (only if you have a strong stomach
