It's so much funnier to me when I think about it as fragile masculinity refusing to sterilize the males.

The image refuses to load beyond the upper ⅗ for me, so the alt text was genuinely helpful.

I wouldn't say scarier, I mean it's possible that the affects of the faster earth worm will be worse long term. But the screw worms can get into our flesh if we aren't careful. No jumping earthworm is gonna be "scarier" than that
