RE: Euryplatea Nanaknihali: Flies and Ants Are Not Friends
Don't worry, the tourist survived, the larvae had chewed only a small tunnel with a depth of 12 mm.
That is pretty terrifying. 12mm still sounds like a lot of ear! I did not click into that picture.
Only 8 larvae managed to do that, usually Cochliomyia hominivorax lays up to 200 eggs, imagine what they could do! In this case, the contact with human was very short.
