This ability to bypass physical barriers makes the Wormhole Queensnake an ecological nightmare. It has no natural predators. A hawk attempting to snatch the snake might find its talons passing through empty air while the snake counters from a blind spot six feet to the left.

To understand the "Wormhole Queensnake," one must first look at the actual Queen Snake . Found primarily in North America, this non-venomous, semi-aquatic species is a specialist of the water’s edge.

In Jungian terms, the Wormhole Queensnake is the Shadow of interstellar exploration: the fear that our greatest tool (the wormhole) is actually a hungry goddess waiting to swallow us.
