Next Episode Sneak Peek - Worm Lions!
🕑 Added 2019-06-07 19:30:00 +0000 UTCStraight out of science fiction, the fearsome wormlion ambushes prey at the bottom of a tidy –and terrifying– sand pit, then flicks their carcasses out. These meals fuel its transformation into something unexpected.
Ominous creatures that lurk deep underground in the desert, like the sandworms in the classic science fiction novel, Dune, aren’t just make-believe. For ants and other prey, wormlions are a terrifying reality.
While quite small – they can grow up to an inch – wormlions are fly larvae that curl up their bodies like slingshots. Usually found under rock or log overhangs in dry, sandy landscapes, they’ll energetically fling soil, sand and pebbles out of the way to dig pit traps.
Once an unlucky critter falls in, wormlions move at lightning speed and quickly wrap their bodies around their victims. Squeezing them like boa constrictors, they also inject them with a paralyzing venom. They feed this way for several years, until they transform into adults.
We hope you enjoy this first look at our newest episode. You can start sharing it with other science fans on Tuesday, June 11th from YouTube. Thanks!

I'm sorry you did not get the follow-up email, it should have been sent to you once your credit card payment went through this week. We could have been clearer that the size request and shipping would commence after billing had taken place - thanks for helping us see that! We will be sending a link to a sizing form shortly - but if you wish, you can reply here whether you want a fitted or regular style shirt, and what size you require. We also need you to make sure to have an up to date shipping address in your Patreon account with us. You can see a picture with examples of our t-shirts here: patreon.com/posts/26342243 . Since our stock of t-shirts is limited we may not be able to guarantee 100% we have colors in your size but we will do our best. :-) Shirts typically take 4-6 weeks to arrive, but I think we'll get these out sooner than that. Thanks! - Craig
