@dolomedes

Coworker came over to me freaking out because he found this one his desk. At first he thought it was a dried grape.

It's dark brownish, and has puffy segments. It squirms and expands. At its smallest it's probably 1cm, and expands up to 3cm. When it expands it looks like it's "skin" is thinning, and turning white, like it's going to burst.

My outdoor knowledge doesn't extend much into the insect world (something I keep meaning to work on).

Is this some kind of moth cocoon?? That's my best guess. Why it was in here, on my coworker's desk, though, I don't know.

I dont think so.

I should have noted that it had no legs or anything that I could notice. Just round like a fat worm, but it didn't really seem like any kind of worm.

Probably a moth pupa. Do you have a porch? I would leave it in a small container to protect it and leave it outside or on a porch. They are meant to be able to survive the cold and it might die if it is indoors through the winter. The moth will likely not emerge until July (depending on where you are).

I doubt it's a botfly, they live in the tropics

I live in Pittsburgh, but Coworker picked up an order of buns and stuff for a cook out from a grocery store. They packed it in banana boxes. >_>

I'm itchy right now. I have trypophobia, and its primarily because of shit like bot flies. I know one larvae isn't going to do shit, but still, ugh....

Odds are it's not a human botfly, so I wouldn't worry too much

besides, it's the adults that lay eggs in you
