So we have been getting more flies in our house of late, and I am getting more proficient at killing the little buggers. Most of them have been rather large. So to make sure that I kill them, I smash them with a piece of paper, tissue or something like that (I've had a few fly away after I hit them.)
Well the bad part about smashing them is finding out that the fly is a female. Once today and once yesterday I found out the gross, but interesting way...maggots come out!!!
After googling for a picture of baby maggots, I didn't find anything that gave a good picture of what it looks like...which is probably a good thing. FYI: If you need to throw up, but can't make yourself do it, just google fly maggots. I almost hurled a few times.
Let's just say that when you squish the fly and the guts come out, you can tell it's a mom when the guts start crawling around.
If you we're curious about how baby flies are made...this should explain.
Darn Dutch doors!
