Human botfly

Human botfly is the only species of botfly known to parasitize humans routinely by capturing mosquitoes and attaching their eggs to their body. The larvae develop inside the skin after falling off the mosquito through the mosquito bite area. They hatch and then the larvae burrow in the skin and eat your tissues until they emerge as a fly that resembles a bumblebee.
