Best Answer

One type of fly that lives in the Amazon Rain forest is a bog fly. Bog flies live in very damp and humid forests. They're well-known for their larva. A bog fly will lay its eggs on a leaf, wait for it to hatch. When a mosquito lands, the larva quickly climb aboard and are carried to a host. The larva will then mount the next living thing the mosquito lands on. The larva burrow in to the host's flesh and come up every so often to breathe. After the larva has burrowed, it is very difficult to remove due to the small hooks on the side of the body used to grip flesh and pull the small bug through the body of its host. Eventually, the fly leaves after reaching adulthood but the process is very painful for anything that undergoes it. If you want to know more, I recommend watching Monsters Inside Me on Animal Planet.
