And really, it’s only a bit about screwworms! It’s more about botflies! And we have no indication that human botflies are moving north!

People will come to regret BlueSky’s “let’s all follow rare bug professors!” fad.
It’s all fine until we start posting the botflies.

FINALLY, the glamor shots that botflies deserve
Behold! The gnarly-but-neat nasal bot (snot?) fly maggot! This sp. lives in the sinuses/throats of deer feeding on mucous etc. The larva is from a taxidermist & was shared by Ezra Bailey ☺️ Adults look like bees & shoot larvae into noses: bugguide.net/node/view/26...

I mixed up screw worms with botflies (similar MO) but I predicted this
I wonder if we will see a return of the botfly under Trump

I got Wolf Worm early thanks to @libro.fm and yes, there are botflies, but also, it's a damn good book
The early responses to Wolf Worm are hatching! Highlights include “What is wrong with you?!?” “WHY?!” and “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, KINGFISHER!”
Oh! Hey! This book I’m on tour for is actually out and available and you can buy it or reserve it at your library BUT ALSO IT IS HORROR AND VERY GROSS so it’s okay if you sit this one out. It’s about botflies! The New York Times called it disgusting!

Q: That sounds like something ten thousand larva in a trenchcoat would say…
A: Yes, well. *adjusts trenchcoat* The book is called WOLF WORM, it was really more about botflies, but I spent a lot of time reading entomology stuff from the 1800s.

There’s nothing remotely like the botflies! Someone does get skinned alive, but it’s consensual?

Anyone at LAPD pushing this should be fired and any lawyers involved in this filing should be disbarred. "WE HAVE TO BEAT UP JOURNALISTS, IT'S AN EMERGENCY" "sounds like a great case, can't wait to cash this paycheck" you should all be exiled to a remote island overrun with botflies
