CONGO FLOOR MAGGOT 511 Blood-Sucking Maggots A number of species of flies allied to the blowflies are known to deposit their offspring in the nests of birds, where the maggots attach themselves to the nesthngs and suck blood. The only species of fly in which the larva sucks blood by puncturing the skin of man, however, is the Congo floor maggot, Aucheromyia luteola (Fig. 244), found throughout tropical Africa south of the Sahara Desert.

According to some observations the living larvae are deposited directly on the skin and immediately bore their way in, while according to others the eggs or young larvae are laid on the hair, on clothing which has been hung out, on soiled bed-clothes of children, etc. There is good reason to believe that the fly when about to lay eggs is attracted by fresh animal smells, such as perspiration, fre

Eating away at flesh and even bone, they develop rapidly to a length of about half an inch, and maturity may be reached in three days, though four or five days is usually required. When fully developed the larva leaves its feeding grounds and buries itself in loose earth nearby, w Stock Photo
