First, feral, wild pigs. Now this.

This may not actually be a "problem" after all . . .
Bloodworms are high in protein.

On the other hand . . . If THESE are the "bloodworms" in Colcord . . .
Abandon all hope ye who enter there.

Glycera (genus) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycera_(genus))


Bloodworms are carnivorous. They feed by extending a large proboscis that bears four hollow jaws. The jaws are connected to glands that supply poison which they use to kill their prey, and their bite is painful even to a human. :sofa:

" . . . but don't worry because I'm not one of The Glycera.
I'm just a lil' ol' midge fly larva. And how cute is "midge" for the name of a fly?

You like my sideburns? Well, technically, I guess they aren't really "side"burns because
they are under my chin and I don't have ears but . . ."
