Probably real, it doesn't seem too far-fetched to me. If its not, someone spent a lot of time constructing a lie that isn't very interesting.

Has anyone else read this article?
My bud sent it to me a while back, maybe in April, and since then I've tried to find other information on this topic. I've had no success, every site that mentions 'man-eating flies' posts the same article. The article is by Elizabeth Fullerton from Reuters, no more info on her, either. This article can't be found on the reuters site, either. Just thought I'd post the link anyways. What do you guys think?

We just had a batch of phorids released in our area. Phorids are known as "decapitator flies" because they target and kill ants. They lay eggs in an
ant, the larvae eat their way to the ant's head, then it eats all the brain until the ant's head just falls off. They are trying to reduce the fire
ant population, which has gone crazy here within the last few years. Fire ants have no predators here. Nothing wants to attempt to eat something that
stings the living hell out of it on contact !
I know it's a bit off topic, but since we were talking about flies, I figured, why not. I just wonder what other creatures these flies will lay eggs in !?!?
Just in case you think this is bs...here's the news article about it.
Killer Flies!!!

Wonder if there is any relation of this bug to the Bot Fly. Which is known to have its larva burrow into human skin to grow.

Wonder what other creatures are out there hidden in the tropical rain forests that we are going to uncover when we need more room to live.

My question is, is there a natural enemy for this fly? In the US? It would be just like the gov to import a new terrorizing creature to get rid of another.

Very interesting. it's amazing how many varieties are flies like this there are.
I read up on the phoridae species as a whole. It says they are not selective in their egg-laying. They will go after ants, wasps, or bees. Florida has a huge honey industry that is paired with our citrus industry. I wonder if they thought about the impact of the flies near bee hives? Probably not. To solve a problem they are just creating many more problems. I might contact the local agricultural extension office and ask them about the phorid project.
man, that really sounds like short-term planning. If it were to happen that they got into the bees, what would they bring in to stop the fly? Once it gets started it can be an endless cycle. Hopefully it causes no problems for the honey bees and citrus industry.
