Yes, the name of the worm is "Desert Drifter".

No offense intended.

Speaking of that, I just took another look at RFK Jr's insanity:

I’m very aware of what the average retail investor has been saying about the need for greater transparency in our markets, stronger regulatory oversight and tougher penalties for market manipulation and criminal behavior.  My administration will support the Ape retail rebellion… pic.twitter.com/pjDgeSUXcY

Why in God's name is there an ape practicing falconry in the background?? Damned if that's because it's done in at least one of the movies:

More shocking still:

The monkey falconer was a popular motif in illuminated medieval manuscript marginalia and apes and birds share a ‘sympathetic’ connection, as stated by Horst Janson in his monumental “Apes and Ape Lore” (which much of our talk today is based upon).

That's something RFK Jr has probably known about for a long time. And it is very interesting. Though probably the people considering voting for him wouldn't think so.
