snouter

i am a parasitic acarologist
hosting a tick and a bacterium
an entomophage pullulating amongst legions of others
looking for a parasitoid wasp
im a beaky toothed sort of snouter
out and about for a ladybug finger or two
the dog never knew what hit it
and neither will you
(microbes are where the action is)

What I’m Reading:

The Republicans could set the world on fire on their march toward authoritarianism and it might not matter. Because when it comes to fighting fascism, Democrats are showing up with a cardboard knife to a gun fight.
