neutral  Richard Benham: Your references seem good, although I have never met the word "varron" before. "Hypoderme" seems more scientific to me, and is closely related to the zoological name Hypoderma. What about "mouche gazouillante"? ;-)

Explanation:
I asume this is the fly which attacks, inter alia, cattle, also known as the botfly.

\"Adult warble flies are hairy and about the size of small bees with yellow-orange abdomens. The fly lays eggs on the hair of cattle during summer. After about 4 days larvae hatch and migrate into the skin. The larvae move between muscle layers to either the oesophagus or the spinal canal where the larvae stay dormant during winter. In late winter or early spring the larvae migrate to the tissue under the skin on the back where they mature for about 30 days. The larvae then drop off the host animal and pupate in soil. The fly emerges after about 36 days.There are two species of Warble Fly: Hypoderma bovis and Hypoderma lineatum.\"

This UK government site confirms that the \"warble fly\" lays its eggs on the hair of cattle, and that its generic name is \"Hypoderma\", which fits in well with the French name \"hypoderme\".

I have just done some Googling, and it appears that sheep warble flies (Oestrus ovis) lay their eggs at the entry to the nostrils, not on the wool. So I\'d stick with \"hypoderme\", although these flies apparently don\'t attack sheep.... Could be a case of misleading advertising?

Here\'s some stuff about the ovine warble fly:
