How Geist put it, it would make more sense, that would be a possible setting at least.

However, I still don't see how this is profitable for the bloodflies. You said you study parasitic entomology as a hobby and seem to base your theory off of patterns you found among parasitic insects, but you have to keep in mind that humans are far more complex  and have way slower reproducing rates than insects. Going through pregnancy for one baby alone takes 40 weeks, almost 3/4 of one year, and it would take another 6 minimum to bring that infant up to a level where it could, in a setting like this, be halfway capable of taking care of its own. So accounting the time factor I still think the theory is a bit off.
