Day 94: SketchBook Nematodes

Don't know what made me think of nematodes today, but I was compelled to draw them. Of course they're microscopic parasitic worms so these drawings are not life-sized. Nematodes are everywhere, and are parasites of practically everything, both plant and animal. They have been found living in snail and slug slime... And burrow into skin... And up into human brains. Eeeewwwww....





To make you feel better, those brain parasites are not native to the United States, but I wouldn't recommend touching any slugs or snails anyway because they themselves are poisonous.
