爆炸型虫的外星人被称为虫世界的外星人，在活着的动物或人类内部挖洞，直到他们从宿主的皮肤中爆发出来。除了他们在所有过程中实际上并没有杀死或伤害主机。
这使他们牢固地属于“总体但无害”的类别。
Botflies don’t produce any infections in their hosts, don’t cause any harm (other than some swelling around the site), and eventually leave of their own accord to pupate and turn into adult botflies.

botflies还称为其他哪些名称？
Botflies or bot flies (either spelling is correct) are known by the scientific name,Dermatobia Hominis。
他们主要是南美害虫, so they are also called berne (Brazil), mirunta (Perú), moyocuil (México), mucha (Colombia), torsalo (Central America), and ura (Argentina). Additionally, they are also known as a warble fly, a heel fly, and gadflies.
Note: Southern California is the only part of North America where botflies are normally found.
爆炸也攻击动物每个人都有自己的科学名称。例如：
- Cattle – Hypoderma Bovis
- Sheep/Goats/Reindeer – Oestrus ovis
- Horses/Donkeys – Gasterophilus intestinalis (lives in the stomach)
其他名称包括cattle grubs（H. lineatum），有时被称为脚跟苍蝇。

Botflies Vs. Mosquitoes
One of the strangest symbiotic relationships in the world of entomology is the one betweenbotflies and mosquitoes。在短暂的生命中，雌性botfly会交配，然后在飞行中捕获蚊子，在其上产卵，并没有受到伤害。
The eggs hatch into the larval stage when the mosquito bites a mammal (including you) and drop off onto the host. They will enter the host through the hole left by the mosquito bite or in the openings around hair follicles.
在宿主出没期间，botfly maggot或幼虫蜕皮几次。在人类中this infestation is known as cutaneous myiasis。在此过程中的任何时候，宿主（人类或动物）或蚊子均未受到伤害。

Botfly Vs. Yellow Fly
Due to its yellow coloration, the yellow fly, sometimes known as the batlass fly is sometimes mistaken for a botfly.黄苍蝇，在伯利兹被称为医生苍蝇，是凶猛的比特斯。
They are quite distinct from botflies though since adult botflies don’t have the ability to bite anything. If you’re being bitten without mercy by a furry-looking yellow fly that looks similar to a bumblebee, you might think it’s a botfly but it’s not.
Botlfy Vs. Horse Fly
Horseflies are bloodsuckers, just like mosquitoes. They are frequent pests around cattle yards and livestock pens. They can reach sizes of up to 1-1/4 inches in length, much larger than the average botfly.
If a botfly is in the same area as a horsefly, it could lay its eggs on the bite marks left behind by the horse flies. It is a rare occurrence but it has been known to happen.

What Do Botflies Look Like?
The larvae are quite different. They are soft, lumpy ovals about 1-2 centimeters in length with backward-pointing spines all over their body to anchor them in place within their host’s body. They live just under the skin and the only sign of their presence is a boil-like swelling, known as a warble.
What Do Botflies Eat?
成人botfly什么都不吃。实际上，成年人无能为力，因为他们没有任何工作或运作的口点。因此，一旦他们从茧中出来，他们只活了几天，直到死亡。他们的寿命足够长，可以交配和繁殖。
The botfly larvae, inhabiting their host, live on the decaying tissue and fleshy matter that falls off the host due to the presence of the botflies. At each instar, when they molt and shed their skin, it too begins to decay and they eat it as well, in a form of self-cannibalization.
Botflies有毒还是危险？
一点都不。botfly侵扰不会伤害主人。他们需要在宿主的皮肤上有一个呼吸孔，但是一旦botfly幼虫从宿主的皮肤中浮现出来，它们就会在几天之内留下的皮肤病变愈合。
This happens whether it’s a human botfly or animal botfly. The life cycle and results are the same for both. Bluntly put, botflies are gross but not harmful.
