Definition
A genus of parasitic botflies whose larvae burrow into the skin of mammals, causing infections and skin lesions.
Etymology
From Latin cutis (skin) plus terebrare (to bore or pierce). The name describes the fly's characteristic behavior of boring into skin—scientific naming reflecting the organism's primary action.
Kelly Says
Cutiterebra flies are nightmare fuel—their larvae burrow under your skin and create an infected tunnel while they grow, and the only cure is suffocation with oil or surgical removal because the larvae must breathe!
