Not A Cat

(Cuterebra buccata, a gorgeous botfly which apparently parasitizes bunnies? So large I thought she was a cicada when I first sighted her!)

One can see how I initially took her for a cicada:

As always, if you're thinking about dropping a comment here which is hating on bugs, move along or get blocked.

Grits Doesn't Like Clothing, An Update on One Tough Kitten

Well that’s a stubborn little critter. Yesterday I took a sock and created a kitten sized hoodie for Grits. I wanted something to cover that wound in his side. Grits however does not care for clothing and prefers to go au naturel. I discovered this when I checked on him first thing this morning and the little hoodie was out in the cage and Grits was happily sleeping in his box. I walked away…

They’re parasites. You know what it means to be a parasite, right, Tommy? You know it real intimately.

🔮 'di naman ako manghuhula

twitter

[Image description: A drawing of a dimly lit scene: a woman sprawled across a table, leaning back on her elbow. She holds a glass to her lips, smiling slightly and staring up at another woman who is standing between her legs, back turned to the camera with a tense posture, gripping a bottle. A glowing, cracked crystal ball has rolled off its stand to rest by the first woman's elbow. The table is littered with candles in crystal glasses, small rabbit figurines, tarot cards, books, and a vase of moon orchids. The scene is colored with deep violets and blues, illuminated by the pink-orange glow from the crystal ball. /end ID]

spotted an absolute delight on my walk today, this is only the second time I've ever seen an adult botfly and the first time I was able to photograph one! I think this one is a rodent botfly in genus Cuterebra.

this was an insect I've been so excited to finally see in person!

it's so important to me that botflies, known for their particularly gruesome method of maturation (young larvae are deposited onto the skin of a mammal, into which they create a burrow. the larva matures within the host's flesh, and emerges out of a small hole in the skin once fully grown larvae, which then drop off and pupate in the ground.) are often just. absolutely adorable fluffy round things not unlike bumblebees

#parasitism #parasites #insects #and yes there are botflies that will use humans as hosts.#if it weren't a painful ordeal you KNOW id have a bunch of botflies in my skin right now you know that.#look at those big round eyes. how could you say no to that?

Bee-mimic deer nose bot flies, genus Cephenemyia, Oestridae

Found in North America and Europe. As the name suggests, this species attacks chiefly the nostrils and pharyngeal cavity of members of the deer family. Larvae hatch in the uterus of the female. She then seeks out a host, hovers near the face, and ejects the larvae near or into the nostrils of the host animal. A single host deer can have as many as 20 larvae at a time, usually attached to the base of the tongue in clusters. After they mature, the larvae are ejected by the host via the nose or mouth and pupate in soil. Adults have no functional mouthparts and do not feed.
