We have basically completed writing our book, The Curious World of Bugs, and we are now awaiting the designed pages with text and art so that we can make the final adjustments in May. This first book has been an enlightening experience and we are thrilled that it is being advertised in the Penguin/Perigee fall for booksellers already.
I know what that maggot is on the rat, but not what it’s actually called. It’s a maggot from a giant horse fly. I’ve seen it lay these things on squirrals. This very large black horse fly can make horses sick and we test for it with a Coggins test each year. I will try to find out more and let you know.
