Do they sometimes nest in the trunks of damaged W124 sedans with slightly stained blue dresses tucked away inside the trunk?

Diesel works great if you think you got a fester. I have seen some in the early stages but nothing like that.

apparently there is a nasty Bot virus hitting ebay right now, Bot's a busy dude.

Yeah, those botflies are evil. Here's another one..."hey, I think you have something in your eye..."

http://curezone.com/ig/i.asp?i=14048

Here's a myiasis (larval infestation) journal article that our own Bot posted a while ago and still gives me nightmares. There are medical photos of a female breast - so your call about SFW or not.

http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2482/4/5

Scroll down to the figures and the 'movie'.
