My dad took this Bot Fly out of one of his rabbits a few days ago. I guess it can be common, but this is a first for me. Check out the hole it left in the side of the bunny

..............

Never seen one either. Interesting though. It might have deposited eggs in that rabbit. :)

any idea how long it was in there? that's freaky

ouch,,,

Anyone watched "Monsters Inside Me"? They had one on the bot fly. I think they get in from a mosquito bite... can't remember.

Looks like that bunny got shot. That is one nasty bug.

bot flies are BAD news... dont let one get near you

wow. I saw those on "monsters inside me" too! but the way I remembered it, they were only in the Amazon or some other more exotic locale. I do remember one fun factoid: some botflies that infest rats eat the testes of the rat! Maybe one of the Cape Cod guys should get some for those seals they love so much! (insert wacky smiley face.)

Wow thats one nasty looking thing and an even nastier looking hole!

Wanted: Hypnotists to help me forget what I've seen in this thread.

I may never stop throwing up.

Seach on SOL for a thread mayne 7 or 8 years ago showing one in a guy while in him and after popping out . His leg or arm I think. Super gross.

The is totally Effed Up....:yak:

I didn't think they were around here. Is that an imported rabbit?

On another note, that pic kind of looks like a girl I once "dated". She really needed a Bic.

A dude posted over on sol, how he had one IN HIS LEG. It's a few years old, but a f'd up story none the less. go look it up. It's nasty.

That is pretty gross. Anyway,, here's the thread from over on SOL..
Lord of the Flies - SurfTalk (http://www.stripersonline.com/surftalk/showthread.php?t=384107&highlight=bot+fly)

A doctor in town describes taking one out of a guy's forehead during a medical missionary trip to Honduras.

I just searched that old thread on SOL. OMG!

I remember that thread and NO, I do not want to see it again.

Last time i saw one of those for real was in Panama a long time ago.We were cautioned about them doing E an E training

I second that!:yak4:

Many of us have now developed an infatuation / fear of Bot Flys.

Here is a great clip that explains them

YouTube - ‪Monsters Inside Me: Botfly Invasion‬‎ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90exkFR2iSM)

I am gonna start sellin "Save The Bot Fly" fan club t-shirts.

I think that the real question is "what did Roy catch with the bot fly larvae?"

Where was your rabbit that it picked up a bot fly? You get those in Central America, as others have mentioned.

..............


That was the egg. The fly lays its egg under the skin, and the larva grows inside the body.

How about in the eye?

Ok PRbuzz just took it one step further,now Im grossed out:yak5:

human bot fly.

theres some intense videos on youtube.

squeeze it squeeze it :rotf2:

I am pretty sure it was on discoery channel that had them in people in this country. One guy was having severe headachess for a few years. It was crawling aroinf in between his scalp and skul. I watched as a kid had his girlfriend push one over from the middle of his back to where the hole was and she squeezed it out of the kid. Frieky.

I took one off my cat around 1962 or 63. Though the hole in her leg was from fighting. She was a barn cat super friendly and I was just petting her and found the hole.Told my mom and we were cleaning the hole and saw something move. Grab the tweezers an pulled out the god offal ugly thing.My dad brought it to a farmer down the street and I thought he called it a blowfly.The hole in her leg was like the size of dime.SICK to think of one in a persons body.The farmer said It was a fly larvae?

i hate bugs

That thing was huge.The look on the rabbits face is priceless.Nasty bot flies.

I remember this when it was first posted and being disgusted, I had to look again and I am just as grossed out...

Had one in the side of one of our Golden Retrievers while in Mass. and one in one of our Rabbits while in Vermont.
The dog lived, the Rabbit died!
They are nasty things!
