Dear Paul,

You are probably right, I am no expert. I only know the toad was still alive and the pictures on www.batraciens-reptiles.com/lucilia_bufonivora.htm made me wonder if the toad I saw was also infected by lucila bufonivora.
Someone of the UVA looked at the picture and he considered it aswell. He learned at a congres that the fly lays his eggs on the sides of a toad and that the maggots crawl to the nostrils of the toad.
But he wasn't certain.

regards,
Shar
