Fortunately, getting one is an extremely unlikely occurrence for the average visitor. 2nd instar torsalo larva, note the hooks to hold it in place! One of the really cool things about this insect is that it lays its eggs on a mosquito and the eggs hatch when the mosquito feeds on a host. Do humans get warbles? Yes, (are you disgusted yet)?

It takes about 6 weeks to complete development on its host. http://ambergriscaye.com/pages/town/botfly.html Is there such a thing as a human bot fly? Yes, we're sorry to say there is.
