yes they do. Flies Lay eggs in dead things like mice,rats birds, anything that was alive once. the eggs hatch and eat the dead flesh as they get bigger you can see them. over time they become ( yes you guessed it) flies.

What did Francesco Redi do dealing with evolution?

Redi did an experiment seeing what maggots come from by putting meat into jars and left 1 open 1 covered with netting and one sealed the only one that didn't get maggots was the one that was sealed proving that maggots come from flies.


What did fransesco redi show in his experiment?

Francesco Redi conducted a famous experiment in the 17th century to demonstrate that maggots on decaying meat came from eggs laid by flies, not from spontaneous generation. He placed meat in three jars: one open to the air, one sealed, and one covered with gauze. The open jar attracted flies, which laid eggs and resulted in maggots, while the sealed jar remained free of maggots, and the gauze-covered jar allowed air in but prevented flies from accessing the meat. Redi's experiment helped establish the principle of biogenesis, the idea that life arises from existing life.


What are the first bugs on a dead body?

The first bugs on a dead body are flies and beetles. Maggots and beetle larvae are also found on a dead body.


Was Pasteur the doctor who showed that maggots hatch from eggs that flies lay on meat and not from the meat itself?

Francesco Redi disproved the theory of spontaneous generation in larger organisms during the 1600s with this experiment. By using flasks containing meat -- one open and one sealed -- Redi discovered that maggots only appeared on the uncovered meat that could be accessed by flies. The maggots were hatching from eggs laid on the meat, not from the meat itself. Pasteur continued the experimentation regarding spontaneous generation in the 1800s with the growth of bacteria on soup.


What process do scientists use to answer questions about they worldfor example Redi's experiment with rotting meat?

Scientists use the scientific method to answer questions about the world, which involves making observations, forming a hypothesis, conducting experiments, and analyzing results. In Francesco Redi's experiment with rotting meat, he tested the hypothesis that maggots arise from the meat itself or from eggs laid by flies. By using controlled conditions, such as placing meat in covered and uncovered jars, he demonstrated that maggots only appeared in the exposed jars, supporting the idea that they come from flies, not spontaneous generation. This method of systematic investigation allows for repeatable and verifiable results.

Do maggots come from dead bodies?

Yes, maggots are the larval stage of flies. Flies lay their eggs on decaying organic matter, including dead bodies. When the eggs hatch, they develop into maggots, which feed on the decomposing tissue.


When humans die where do the worms that eat them come from?

What eats human corpses are not worms, but maggots. Maggots are the offspring of flies. Dead things tend to attract flies (the stench of rotting flesh may be disgusting to us, but lovely to flies), and those flies come and eat the flesh as well as lay eggs on the decaying body. Once the eggs hatch, you get maggots, which also consume the flesh/bodily fluids of the body.

Where do gnats and fruit flies come from?

Like most insects, fruit flies and gnats develop from eggs. they lay their eggs the eggs which are called larvae. Larvae then hatches and maggots come out. Maggots then turn into puparium (cocoon like). Then these hatch into fruit flies. The hole ordeal take 48 hours.


Do maggots reproduce?
