Hardcover case illustration for a limited edition of Wolf Worm by T. Kingfisher, for OwlCrate 🪱 I never thought I’d be illustrating botflies and screwworms, but they sure are fun to draw!

[swords-n-spindles]

Finished! Excellent book, no cats got eaten, satisfying ending, and I've learned that I can deal with horror literature quite well. Unrelatedly, I do feel the need to shower very extensively now.

Wolf Worm by T. Kingfisher

“Some thoughts burrow into your mind as thoroughly as a wasp larva burrows into an unsuspecting caterpillar. The trick, which I am still learning, is how to live without being devoured by them.”

[jellypy]

"What I wanted in that moment was not answers, not explanations, not even freedom. What I wanted was for this not to be happening."

— T. Kingfisher, Wolf Worm

It is possible to preserve many insect larvae by pinning them, but since you have to remove the internal organs to keep them from rotting, they tend to collapse. Then you must reinflate them, using one of a number of patented caterpillar inflaters. It's worth it for things like caterpillars, where the color patterns are so important, but hardly anyone bothers with maggots. (I learned this, incidentally, over the course of a ten-minute lecture from Halder when I went to ask about the colors. I went back to my room and said "Patented caterpillar inflater," out loud several times and laughed so hard that Sally came to check on me.)
