5. Too close for me
Botflies that use humans as hosts are only found in southern Mexico, Central and South America.
There is a different species that inhabits the United States but will only use
hosts like dear, mice, foxes, coyotes, etc.

7. They're everywhere, and lots of different kinds too.
I've seen them on rabbits and hear they go after horses as well.
