It’s strange that week 13 of our Friday Night Lice series would fall on … Friday the 13th! And one with a full moon at that! I would’ve chosen a vampire bat louse for the occasion, but, alas, chiropterans don’t have lice.
Although the host mammal of this week’s louse is decidedly uncreepy it is interesting (aren’t they all, though?), as well as relatively large (i.e., bigger than a bread box … that could fit a St. Bernard inside it). Can you guess the louse species and host? Add your guesses as comments below. We’ll post the answer on Monday!
