Cephenemyia

	Cephenemyia The name deer botfly (also deer nose botfly) refers to any species in the genus ''Cephenemyia'' (sometimes misspelled as ''Cephenomyia'' or ''Cephenemya''), within the family Oestridae. They are large, gray-brown flies, often very accurate mimics of bumblebees. They attack chiefly the nostrils and pharyngeal cavity of members of the deer family. The larva of ''Cephenemyia auribarbis'', infesting the stag, is called a stagworm. The genus name comes from the Greek ''kēphēn'', drone bee, and ''myia'', fly. Description The larval stages of ''Cephenemyia'' are obligate parasites of cervids. Eggs hatch in the uterus of the female. She then flies close to the head of her host species and while hovering ejects her larvae into its nostrils. Larvae migrate to the base of the animal's tongue, where they mature in clusters to a size of 25 to 36 mm. After being ejected by the host, they pupate in soil (2 to 3 weeks) before emerging as a sexually-mature but non-feeding adult, which must ...

	Cephenemyia Trompe ''Cephenemyia trompe'', also known as the reindeer nose botfly, is a species of botfly first described by Adolph Modéer in 1786. It belongs to the deer botfly genus ''Cephenemyia''. This fly is parasitic on reindeer. It is one of two ''Cephenemyia'' species found only in Scandinavia. The larvae of ''Cephenemyia trompe'' infect the nose area of reindeer. The adult is active during the Arctic summer, being able to fly very fast and having developed olfactory abilities to find reindeer from long distances. Its activity, however, is inhibited by strong winds, low temperatures and rain or snow. This species has a very short pupariation time compared to other reindeer botfly species.Douglas D.

	Cephenemyia Ulrichii ''Cephenemyia ulrichii'' or the moose botfly, also called the elk botfly, moose nose botfly or moose throat botfly, is a large botfly that resembles a bumblebee. In the wild, they attack chiefly the nostrils and pharyngeal cavity of moose (also known as elk in Europe), but have been found in other deer species. There have also been several cases of ''C. ulrichii'' squirting their larvae into the eyes of human beings, a somewhat painful event that requires medical attention to forestall any possibility of serious damage. Description The adult ''C. ulrichii'' botfly is 16–18 mm long, its body covered with fluffy hairs of yellow, black and white, making it look like a bumblebee. Mouth parts are reduced and, like other adult ''Cephenemyia'', they cannot feed. Eggs hatch inside the female into first instar larvae, which are minute, white with black heads and barbed. In sunny weather, from July to September, females seek out an appropriate host site, typically the nostrils ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Oestridae Botflies, also known as warble flies, heel flies, and gadflies, are a family of flies known as the Oestridae. Their larvae are internal parasites of mammals, some species growing in the host's flesh and others within the gut. ''Dermatobia hominis'' is the only species of botfly known to parasitize humans routinely, though other species of flies cause myiasis in humans. General A botfly, also written bot fly, bott fly or bot-fly in various combinations, is any fly in the family Oestridae. Their life cycles vary greatly according to species, but the larvae of all species are internal parasites of mammals. Largely according to species, they also are known variously as warble flies, heel flies, and gadflies. The larvae of some species grow in the flesh of their hosts, while others grow within the hosts' alimentary tracts. The word "bot" in this sense means a maggot. A warble is a skin lump or callus such as might be caused by an ill-fitting harness, or by the presence of a warb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
