The sift sure loves it's "Ewwww, that's gross! Zoom in closer!" videos, huh

This time, at band camp....
I wonder if Africans find them as annoying as I do.

Not band camp! Apparently some 'ORU' goodwill-type-mission - which you can't really knock 'em for, Jesus-freaks or not.


I dunno, I'd like to know more about what they did there before I decide as to whether they need knocking or not... If all they did was go around and tell the poor poor savages about the wonders of Jesus, they can go and get mango larva on their vaginas for all I care...

Exactly what part of her body is at the 6m mark?

Also: the sounds she is making, reminds me of a "very first anal" video.

Thank you, sir.

Are mango flies the same as bott flies? Because those look a lot like bott fly larvae.


From Wikipedia: 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 [1].C. anthropophaga has been endemic in the subtropics of Africa for more than 135 years and is a common cause of myiasis in humans in the region.[2]

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

And then bott flies, from another source:

Bot flies (Order Diptera, Family Cuterebridae) are large, stout bodied, hairy flies that resemble bumblebees. The botfly egg is deposited by a mosquito or sometimes by another insect. The larva grows in the host's body until it is fairly large. The botfly larva can easily be killed by taking away its air supply -- by putting vaseline or similar on the skin where the lump is, but then you still have to extract the larva.

Very similar, but not the same, no.

Are mango flies the same as bott flies? Because those look a lot like bott fly larvae.

edit - actually, they look a lot smaller, but maybe they were just in an earlier stage than the ones I've seen.. ?

edit 2 - Now that I've watched the whole thing.. PRAISE JESUS! THANK YOU JESUS FOR PUNISHING ME FOR MY SINS!

Lots of tears at 6 min. Mmmm.


Ahem... http://blog.videosift.com/gwiz665/Alright-enough-is-enough

Mango flies drop their larvae on drying cloth, since its moist, if placed in the sun the larvae would die. If not they would remain on the clothes and when worn will rub into your skin pores.

I had 2 of the things when I lived in Africa. It's so fucking gross, one was on the left arm near hand and the other on the thigh. Little cunts were alive.

I'm just glad there isn't an animal that has found a hax like that for humans.

I read about a wasp today that performs brain surgery on cockroaches so they become docile, leads it to a burrow and lays an egg on top. The larva then proceeds to dig into the roach and eat the internal organs in an order that keeps it alive as long as possible...

It looks like several ants got tangled up in a dust bunny.
But really... what IS this thing?


Based on some rushed Googling, I think it is either an assassin bug with a bunch of ant corpses and debree on his back for camouflage.

OR a lacewing larva
