Cordylobia anthropophaga

Cordylobia anthropophaga, the mango fly, tumbu fly, putzi fly or skin maggot fly is a species of blow-fly common in East and Central Africa. It is a parasite of large mammals (including humans) during its larval stage.

The adult female typically lays eggs in sandy or shady soil near recent deposits of feces; eggs are never laid directly on the host. Larvae can wait for the arrival of host for up to 15 days.

Successful penetrations in humans will result in furuncular (boil-like) myiasis, typically on the backs of arms or about the waist, lower back, or buttocks. .

Its specific epithet anthropophaga derives from the Greek word anthropophagus, "eater of men".
