Definition
A genus of parasitic fly larvae (bot flies) that live in the stomachs and digestive systems of horses and other mammals, causing gastritis or botfly infection.
Etymology
From Greek 'gaster' (stomach) + 'philus' (loving, attracted to). Named because the larvae preferentially inhabit the stomach and gastrointestinal tract of their host animals.
Kelly Says
Horse owners have been dealing with bot flies for thousands of years, and the flies are so specialized that some species only infect horses' stomachs and nowhere else—it's an extreme example of an organism that evolved to be perfectly adapted to one uncomfortable home address.
