What is the life cycle of a botfly and how does it impact its development and reproduction?
The life cycle of a botfly begins when the female botfly lays eggs on a host animal, such as a mammal. The eggs hatch into larvae, which then burrow into the host's skin to develop. The larvae feed on the host's tissue and grow until they are ready to emerge as adult botflies. This process can impact the host's health and cause discomfort or infection. The development and reproduction of botflies are closely tied to their host animals, as they rely on them for nourishment and shelter during their life cycle.
