A species of botfly (found only in Central and South America) captures a mosquito and lays its eggs on it ... about 30 of them. The botfly then releases the mosquito. Eventually the mosquito lands on a person. The warmth causes the eggs to hatch, and the larvae (or maggots) fasten to the person's skin.

The larvae now eat their way into the skin of the person, and begin feeding on muscle tissue. Tiny hooks hold them in place. A hole is left in the skin so the larvae can breathe.

Men!!!! (just kidding....sorta )

Thats one nasty bastard

How long before they get here?

These things are so disgusting. We have a number of similar flies in South Africa. We call them putzi (pronounced: pootzi) flies. I've been bitten twice. I cannot begin to tell you what a hideous and vile experience it was to see a couple of live, wriggling maggots emerge from my own flesh. Yuck!
