Cephenemyia trompe,[1] also known as reindeer nose bot fly, is a species of fly first described by Adolph Modéer in 1786. It belongs to the Cephenemyia genus of deer botflies.[1][2][3] This fly is parasitic on reindeer. It is one of the two Cephenemyia species found in Scandinavia.[1][3]
The larvae of Cephenemyia trompe infect the nose area of reindeers.[4] The adult is active during the Arctic summer, being able to fly very fast and having developed olfactory abilities to find reindeer from long distances.[5] Its activity, however, is inhibited by strong winds, low temperatures and rain or snow.[6] This species has a very short pupariation time compared to other reindeer botfly species.[7]
