(n) A botfly larva. The parent
fly lays its eggs in a person or
animal, and the larva grows into a
huge maggot that migrates to the neck and chews its way out when it is ready to pupate. Also spelled warble, wormil.
The
rabbit was dead, but we could see that its neck was moving as if it had an
alien under its skin, and the next thing we knew, a giant worble the size of a shotgun shell crawled out of it. And we figured that
rabbit was better off dead.
