Parasite in front of the camera
2005/05/19 Roa Zubia, Guillermo - Elhuyar Zientzia
The parasites of the genus Crataerina live blood tanned birds. What you see in the image is one of them. It absorbs blood from swallow and black. In winter, when these birds are far away, the parasite breeds the larvae inside the body and leaves them in nests when they are in the pupa phase to their body when the birds return. This time, the camera has trapped the parasite on a cloth, an ideal place for animal observation.
