Two screwworms are speaking to each other at a bar in this cartoon, titled “Word Spreads Among Screwworms”. The screwworm on the left says, “The wife and I are thinking of moving to the U.S.A.! They build walls to keep people out, but fortunately for us, their biosecurity sucks!” The screwworm on the right says, “A big chunk of U.S. beef sounds good!”
