EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the second stage of the human botfly, Dermatobia hominis, as it makes its home on a human leg in Bolivia. The human botfly is a parasitic arthropod belonging to the family Oestridae and the order Diptera. This fly is also known as the New World skin bot fly or the flesh-eating botfly due to its unique life cycle and parasitic behavior. The botfly lays its eggs on the bodies of various animals, including humans, while they are resting or sleeping. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae burrow under the skin, where they feed on the host's tissue for several weeks. During this time, the larvae can cause significant discomfort and pain, and may even lead to secondary infections. In this photograph, we see the larva of the human botfly as it develops on a human leg. The larva is easily recognizable by its distinctive white, cylindrical shape and the dark head at one end. The human host's skin has begun to heal around the larva, which is a sign that it is ready to pupate and eventually transform into an adult fly. This image, captured by renowned photographer Martin Hall, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of parasitic arthropods and the complex relationships between insects and humans. It serves as a reminder of the intricate web of life and the diverse array of organisms that inhabit our planet.
