That's an image of the adult Botfly.

I'm not going to post images of the larvae, because ...

Well ...

I'm just not.

Web-search ... you'll find 'em.

They're nasty.

I’ve seen pictures similar to what this couple got, and they are horrifying to look at and recommend that nobody take a look, unless you want to be creeper out for days.

While I was doing some field work in Panama out in the rain forest, the local guys kept bugging me about not wearing a hat. Hate hats but am bald.

They showed me some scars they had, and explained this fly and it's nasty little habit. I started wearing a hat and constantly swiping my hands over my exposed arms and neck.....
