ny bot flies

[armymedic.2]

Just a warning to fellow limb bacon hunters. Two if our parties ten had a serious bot fly larvae problem. My buddy reported the same. If that type of thing wigs you out you may want to wait for cooler temps before making smoke

I found a mouse with one. If houseflies were designed by Stephen King . . .

I have a textbook titled "Medical Parasitology" that will give you the heebie-jeebies for weeks.

We have hordes of squirrels in our neighborhood. I've seen a couple of them with the bot maggots.

I often wait for cooler weather to hunt squirrels but this year I can't seem to wait that long. I just have a compulsion to walk amonst the trees and valleys toting my front loader. However, I did notice a fox squirrel the other day that just couldn't seem to quit scratching himself. May of been that he had a bot fly infestation. I have witnessed many squirrels with this predicament first hand and it is not pleasing to my eye.
