Cuterebra albipilosa

Cuterebra albipilosa is a species of New World bot fly in the family Oestridae, first described by Sabrosky in 1986. As a member of the genus Cuterebra, it is presumed to be a parasitoid of mammals, with larvae developing subcutaneously in host tissue. The species is one of 34 recognized North American Cuterebra species. Adults are rarely encountered in the field and are short-lived, lacking functional mouthparts.
