Juvenile male Ecuadorian mantled howler (Alouatta palliata aequatorialis) with botfly parasites
Botflies, also known as warble flies, heel flies, and gadflies, are a family of flies known as the Oestridae. Their larvae are internal parasites of mammals, some species growing in the host's flesh and others within the gut.
