A mealworm wiggled out of my grasp and when I went to pick it up, Ziggy POUNCED and aggressively attempted to swallow my finger. He’s mistaken me for food before, but never so TENACIOUSLY. I am deeply uncomfortable and never want to experience this again, thanks.

Maybe you tasted like mealworms at the time.

Or maybe he’s realized your true nature as a giant swarm of various invertebrates and was trying to pull one off to eat.
