      Aphids are frequently born pregnant, and give birth to live offspring (effectively clones of the mother).

      Only about every 30 generations or so they produce males, who mate with the females, who then produce eggs.

      There is a species of fungus that parasitically infects ants and after killing them zombie puppets their bodies to the tops of trees so they can sprout and spore to give them the best spread possible on their spores.
