Bone Skipper

Source Pathfinder #158: Sixty Feet Under pg. 80
Orange-headed bone skippers feast on the flesh of the dead, particularly seeking out the marrow in the bones of large carcasses. These strange flies are named for the way they hop about on rotting bodies as they feed, causing the corpses to move and appear as if alive.

Bone skippers eat and breed within the bones of deceased megafauna, such as elephants and teraphants. In areas where their carcasses are rare or quickly disposed of, bone skippers are virtually unknown. Sufficiently large undead creatures, like zombie hulks, might harbor a bone skipper swarm that buzzes around them, defending their gruesome “lairs.”
