I watched a show on Animal Planet about an insect that must have been a bot fly. Basically they showed all the different animals that got its eggs laid inside their skin and then the result of the larvae proliferating inside the host. Gophers, horses, people... they'd show scientists extracting the larve by popping them out. It was like watching a scientist popping someone's huge giant pimple but instead of pus coming out, it was a huge larvae. One person had a larvae the size of her thumb growing inside her. I was aghast.
