Shonen Safari
Host Taken
The host is taken. Pale fungal growths rise above a rusty-orange wasp, crossing the edge of a forest comic panel. Fiery Japanese lettering sets the mood in this Shonen Safari artwork, presented as a large front print on a black T-shirt. A little natural unease for Halloween and beyond.
What caught our eyeFungi in the genus Ophiocordyceps have been documented infecting paper wasps in the genus Polistes. This manga scene takes inspiration from that association; it does not identify the exact species in the reference photograph.

Field notes
The fungus takes the leading role. Pale threads and club-shaped growths spread around the insect and break the comic frame, while the wasp remains recognisable as its host. Rust orange, ivory and deep forest greens carry the scene.
The katakana lettering ゴゴゴ evokes an ominous rumbling atmosphere. It is a dramatic manga effect, not a sound attributed to the fungus. The enlarged perspective and framing are creative choices.
