[windkonig]

spotted an absolute delight on my walk today, this is only the second time I've ever seen an adult botfly and the first time I was able to photograph one! I think this one is a rodent botfly in genus Cuterebra.

this was an insect I've been so excited to finally see in person!

Bee-mimic deer nose bot flies, genus Cephenemyia, Oestridae

Found in North America and Europe. As the name suggests, this species attacks chiefly the nostrils and pharyngeal cavity of members of the deer family. Larvae hatch in the uterus of the female. She then seeks out a host, hovers near the face, and ejects the larvae near or into the nostrils of the host animal. A single host deer can have as many as 20 larvae at a time, usually attached to the base of the tongue in clusters. After they mature, the larvae are ejected by the host via the nose or mouth and pupate in soil. Adults have no functional mouthparts and do not feed.

About that botfly question. At least two entomologists have done it because they happened to find some after they went to some event in an area they’re native. Apparently it’s only painful if they’re in a bad spot which honestly makes sense. An animal could chew them out if it was hurting. Best to go unnoticed

I’m gonna need a source on that. An animal absolutely cannot just “chew them off”.

This is a botfly larva. Note the thick body with spines to prevent removal.

This is all you see when you have a botfly growing under your skin, nothing to pick or chew really as the parasite is well-buried. A painful lesion with a small hole, through which the larva breathes using the tube on its backside. They crawl around with their spines and are physically eating into your sub-dermal tissue, so yes, it hurts. Even if it isn’t in a “bad” spot. They are most commonly removed by covering the hole with petroleum jelly to draw the larva into extending its breathing tube out of the hole to avoid suffocation, and that part is then grasped with hemostats and pulled until the entire larva is dragged out. That is not a natural occurrence and the botflies are not evolved to deal with that.

Entemologists will tell you about the time they got a botfly larvae in their scalp and grin the whole time

We have two shows in Philly to close out July, both at Breadbox Philly!

Thursday 7/27 w/ Gre/ay, Golddust, Sonagi and Botfly

Friday 7/28 w/ False Nine(first show), King Slender, and Mt Ida (Mt Worry had to drop)

We might play some new ones at these shows but we'll see lol

@neptunebeetle​ submitted: Found what I can only assume to be a botfly larvae. My family rescued a mouse and this guy was mostly likely attached to it beforehand & fell off (the mouse seemed fine though). These guys sure are freaky little parasites but very cute nonetheless! I’m not sure what stage of life this guy is at though but it looks pretty late in the larva state if I had to guess?

Ohhh very cool! Definitely looks like a bot fly. There are a few species that use mice as their hosts. This dude looks like a pupa to me, which would explain why it dropped from its host, since they pupate in the soil :)

Prompt 25: Parasite

The Cownose Botfly

For the parasite prompt, it's probably not a surprise that I went to Just The Zoo of Us episode no. 14, featuring the Botfly and the Cownose Ray. 

If you know about Human Botflies, you have a good idea about the, um… let's say ability to weaponize mosquitos and use them as a middleman to make humans their egg incubators. The Cownose Botfly version isn't any better, even with their attempt to get some of the love that sea pancakes have from their sting ray fins…

Apologies for the nightmare fuel. If it helps, I do research on the animals I am drawing to get their anatomical details right so you can just imagine the fun times with the photos on this one!

Botflies, man…

Color Vision:

While I have not colored this creature (yet), I envision their coloring is a blend between the human botfly and the cownose ray.

Side note: To learn more about the inspiration behind this series, please check out the captions in any of my first three hybrid animals from this month!
