For the parasite prompt, it's probably not a surprise that I went to Just The Zoo of Us episode no. 14, featuring the Botfly and the Cownose Ray.
If you know about Human Botflies, you have a good idea about the, um… let's say ability to weaponize mosquitos and use them as a middleman to make humans their egg incubators. The Cownose Botfly version isn't any better, even with their attempt to get some of the love that sea pancakes have from their sting ray fins…
Apologies for the nightmare fuel. If it helps, I do research on the animals I am drawing to get their anatomical details right so you can just imagine the fun times with the photos on this one!
Botflies, man…
Color Vision:
While I have not colored this creature (yet), I envision their coloring is a blend between the human botfly and the cownose ray.
Side note: To learn more about the inspiration behind this series, please check out the captions in any of my first three hybrid animals from this month!
After all, if you met a winged woman, wouldn't you want to try the same?
Today is our wedding anniversary so I decided to post this comic I drew about Pticenoga and Vaughn being cute >:)
