Squirrel "tumors" During the summer and fall, St. Francis Wildlife receives a lot of calls about the "those hideous-looking tumors on squirrels." The lumps (Cutaneous warbles) are bot fly larvae developing under the squirrel's skin. Adult bot flies deposit their eggs near squirrel nests. The worm-like larva enters the squirrel's mouth, nose,or other opening and winds through the body to the skin. In three to seven weeks, the larva emerges from the skin and drops to the ground. Usually, the squirrelheals quickly. Bot flies do not infest humans in Florida.

∙ 14y agoIt may not be a tumor. Squirrels may be parasitized by a type of fly called a botfly. The fly's eggs are deposited on the squirrel, and the hatching larvae burrow into the skin and develop into a large tumor-looking growth. See http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/slansky/botfly/
