The tiny bug known for boring into human flesh is the larvae of the botfly, specifically the species Dermatobia hominis. The female botfly lays her eggs on a mosquito, and when the mosquito bites a human, the larvae enter the skin and develop inside for several weeks. This can cause painful lesions and requires medical treatment to remove the larvae. Though they are not common, botfly infestations are more prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions.
