The bot fly must come up to breath. When it comes up for air put a small glass tube, such as an eye dropper, with the large end over the hole and suck it out. The bot will wind up in the tube but wont go in your mouth because the eyedropper tube narrows down too small to let it pass. That is how I removed these things from kittens and rabbits when I lived in Michigan. A very nasty thing indeed.
