What is another word for human botfly?
Pronunciation: [hjˈuːmən bˈɒtfla͡ɪ] (IPA) 
The human botfly is a parasitic insect that burrows into human skin and feeds on the host's flesh. It is also referred to by other names, such as the torsalo, the tropical warble fly, and the American warble fly. In South American countries, the human botfly is known as "berne." The botfly life cycle involves laying eggs on mosquitoes, ticks or other insects, which then bite humans and transfer the eggs to the host's skin. There, the larvae develop and grow, feeding on the surrounding flesh. While the human botfly is not usually harmful, its removal can be painful and bothersome.
