綠色桃蚜被蟲霉目的真菌新蚜蟲癘霉殺死。比例尺：0.3 mm. 蟲霉目（學名：Entomophthorales）亦作蟲黴菌目，是真菌界的一個目，原本屬於接合菌門，近期分類地位多次改動，許多研究者將其獨立成一個門。蟲黴菌目中大部分的種對昆蟲有致病力，其中一些會感染線蟲、螨蟲、水熊蟲及蜘蛛，有些種類（如冠耳黴）則是腐生的。蟲黴菌目的學名Entomophthorales源自於希臘文中的「昆蟲攻擊者」。

The Entomophthorales are an order of fungi that were previously classified in the class Zygomycetes. A new subdivision, Entomophthoromycotina, in 2007, was circumscribed for them.
Most species of the entomophthorales are pathogens of insects. A few attack nematodes, mites, and tardigrades, and some (particularly species of the genus Conidiobolus) are free-living saprotrophs.
