Introduction (Back to Top) The human bot fly, Dermatobia hominis (Linnaeus Jr., 1781), is a large, densely haired fly that looks like a bumblebee (Kahn 1999). The human bot fly is native to Central and South America. The fly is not known to transmit disease-causing pathogens, but the larvae of D. hominis will infest the skin of mammals and live out the larval stage in the subcutaneous layer, causing painful pustules that secrete fluids.
take about a month, allowing a second generation to be produced. Often, pupation requires a considerably longer period and is the life stage in which bot flies survive winter. Adults emerge in morning. Males usually perch on vegetation where they can get a good range of vision and pursue passing females for mating.
