Quote from Nashnir

As far as my knowledge goes Maggots come out of the incubated eggs of a fly ( I know only Horseflies in that matter )

Exactly, I thought fly lies eggs and hatch outside. I was really really shocked.

BTW, this is a scientific pursuit, not something trivia. I saw the fly and it's strange behaviors and I am seeking an answer.

Lambchopsil, is your name lamb?

How should I know?...

Maybe you should lock this thread, seeing as it's 1. repulsive and 2. far more nonsensical than any thread of mine you've locked.

Just saying.

Insects are vile creatures for the most part. Even the ones that have a positive impact on the environment.

that statement is most illogical. Insects, like the Dung Beetle, or maggots, help to breakdown wastes and dead flesh. They are an essential part of our ecosystem. They are also part of the food chain. If all insects die at this moment, we would be in serious trouble.

Hey I did not kill those maggots. I flushed them down the window thing with a bottle of Bleach. They were still alive the last time I saw them. Facts about maggots:

  1. they are resistant to stomach acid[pH 2]
  2. they were resistant to the bug spray i used to kill the fly.
  3. Medical Maggots are used to clean off infected or dead flesh.
  4. Maggots overall help our ecosystem a great deal with their "job" of eating.
  5. Maggots do not eat live flesh. I saw it on the National Geographic Channel. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 >:-(

Reading comprehension FTW.

Decomposition of organic matter is vile in and of itself. Foul smelling odors and unclean organisms are not exactly topics that I find entrhalling.

Also, if you want correct information, consult an entomologist. Or an encyclopedia.

BTW, that wasn't a shot at you.

Please, no sophist in here arguing. Just because you think something is disgusting, doesn't mean it's not helping you. These " Foul smelling odors and unclean organisms" are breaking down wastes which would pile up if they don't do their jobs. Where do you think a dead animal go after they die. If our Earth have no bacteria, no fungus, no insects, no scavengers, the dead bodies would pile up to the sky. Please leave kindly if you do not wish to discuss this topic.

I didn't say they were unhelpful. Stop being condescending and actually try to comprehend what I'm saying.

Helpful they may be but no matter how helpful they are it can't change the fact that they are disgusting...

I believe that those were not the fly's eggs, but
some parasite's own who used the fly as a host
for her offspings, for example wasps of Ichneumonoidea
family use their ovipositors to plant their wasplings
into other bugs, mainly into larvae, but perhaps
some do use adult bugs as hosts as well.

those aren't wasps. Those are maggots. Believe me, I know maggots when I see them. Wasps lay their eggs inside of fly's egg outside. Wasps don't just randomly sting a fly and inject it with it's own eggs.

There are a lot of wasps out there that you prolly wouldn't
recognise and I am not implying to those ordinary yellow
jacket wasps, but to wasps like Megarhyssa.
Pretty much all the larvae look the same, except
their heads.

no he's not. Wasps are different in appearance from maggots. Besides wasps inject their eggs into eggs of fly when the eggs are outside. otherwise the wasps could just hatch the eat the fly from inside out

There are different breeds of wasp.

And

To a non-entomologist, most, if not all, larvae look the same.

I have some training in recognition of bugs. Why do you constantly insist that wasp larvae and maggots are similar? Why do you constantly have to require everyone to be a bug specialist to distinguish between a maggot and a wasp. In all my years, I have never read about a species of wasp that lays egg into the fly.
