A young or immature bot fly larva, or a small larval stage organism.
Diminutive form of 'bot' (parasitic fly larva) plus suffix '-ling' (Old English), indicating a smaller or younger version.
Botlings in horses were a genuine historical problem—ranchers didn't understand that the itchy warbles under a horse's skin were living larvae that would eventually drop out and pupate in the soil.
