Anyone around you have horses?  Botflies lay eggs like that.  They aren't 
choosey about who they lay the eggs on but you usually find them on horses.

You want to very carefully remove them since they become internal parasites. 
You usually need to actually scrape or cut them off.  They are usually well 
stuck!  Ah, you want to be careful as they can infect humans too.
