Some of the skull reconstructions i did a few months back :> Process pics in the bottom row. Both skulls found.

I had a bone box that was basically collecting skulls and parts too beaten up for my liking for YEARS (don’t take me wrong, i adore worn out and damaged skulls but sometimes its just too much to be aesthetically pleasing) and i finally fixed some of them up.

Both kitty and nutria were in extremely poor shapes, i even considered tossing the cat because… look at it, it was just loose parts (1st image, bottom row) but im really glad i didnt in the end. The diprosopus mod might not be the bees knees BUT for my first time reconstructing a skull i think its alright!

The nutria (which i named Berberis) i just love with my whole heart, the pictures might not convey it as good as i’d like to but you cant tell its a reconstruction until closer scrutiny. Really happy with them all in all.

Spent all summer cleaning this deer skull, there are still blobs of stubborn grease but I don't have a set up that'll work through the cold temps, so we'll have to wait to address those. Regardless, all the teeth stayed, and I'm really happy with that!

Horsehair worms, aka hairsnakes or Gordian worms, Order Gordioidea, Phylum Nematomorpha. Found throughout the world.

Although alien in appearance, these worms are parasitoids of arthropods in their larval stage and are not harmful to humans or other mammals. Adult worms are free-living, meaning they do not require a host, and they do not feed. Most are only a few inches long, but in extreme cases they can reach over two meters in length while remaining only 1 to 3 millimeters in diameter.

A short but informative video below! Just the worm, no injured host insect.
