My personal favorite is probably Massospora Cicadina, a parasite that infects cicadas. This video is pretty educational in that department and the whole channel is high quality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSmD43tS9O0

Or Entomorphthora muscae, it's a fungus that infects the common house fly. It causes the fly to seek high ground, like high up on a window perhaps, and wait there until it dies. Then the fungus produces tons of spores which are released, and the increased elevation of the fly results in a higher chance of success in infecting more flies.

Then there is also the entire genera of Cordyceps fungi, which most people have probably heard of.
