Viewer discretion advised. A gray squirrel started acting strange late in the day with no obvious signs of injury or illness. After capturing him at dusk it in a weakened state I found a single botfly under his chin along his throat. He was seemingly improving immediately after removal, but soon succumbed. Mosquito-born bot fly larvae development is not that common in the cooler high elevations of the Smoky Mountains, but mosquitoes have been more common in recent years.
