Removed from the World Science Festival Cicada Count mission as this is not a 17-year Cicada.

I think it could be a flesh fly (Sarcophaga) but this is not the same as a bot fly although they can also grow maggots in open wounds. See the difference with the botfly below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bot_fly
