bot flies

[Vincent Vega]

I just read this article about the bot fly belonging to the family of oestridae.

This bugger is designed specifically for a certain species.

There are horse bot flies, sheep nose bot flies etc ...

And of course human bot flies.
Those buggers lay their eggs onto a mosquito that is likely to hunt a human and once the mosquito lands the human body heat makes the egg hatch.
thats where the larva eats theought the skin and burries itself, living and eating away.

This thing can hatch anywhere. Even found in peoples brains.

Found in central and south america.

My neighbor actually told me a story about a guy who seemed to have had thebotfly larva eating away the guys brain, when he spent a few months in the amazon
