Well it's pretty simple, one of these pictures shows a horrible disgusting blood-sucking parasite, and the other is a new world screwworm.

The one causing damage to America that will take decades to repair, if it's even possible repair.

The right one, the left one is the New Worm Screw World.

I'll help. One is the world screwworm (the demented pedo) and the other one has a fancy mustache.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago
