Rotting meat can attract flies, which lay eggs on the meat. These eggs hatch into maggots, which feed on the decaying flesh. Maggots play a key role in breaking down the rotting meat, aiding in the process of decomposition.
He was a scientist who experimented with maggots and meat and found out that maggots did not grow on meat
Maggots are anywhere and everywhere rotting meat is found.
no they don't
Some maggots such as housefly maggots prefer decomposing meat or flesh. Although some maggots live in decomposing logs or trees. These are just a few places where maggots live.
Maggots are the larval stage of the fly. They are white to blend in with putrid meat. It is a form of camouflage.
Maggots are fly larvae, and they subsist on primarily dead meat and waste. Unless maggots were introduced in the production process accidentally, there's no reason to find maggots in chocolate - they can't survive in it.
Pasteur
In order to disrpove the theory of spontaneous generation (that maggots randomly appeared on the meat), Francesco Redi tested whether flies laid maggot eggs on the meat by covering some jars of meat and opening others. Only the jars that were open produced maggots, therefore supporting that some organism from the outside of the jar, such as flies, was spawning the maggots.
Redi reasoned that flies had laid eggs on the meat in the open jar. The eggs hatched into maggots. Because flies could not lay eggs on the meat in the covered jar, there were no maggots there. Therefore, redi concluded that the decaying meat did not produce maggots.
Francesco Redi's hypothesis was that "spontaneous generation" could not exist. He tested this hypothesis using maggots and meat.
No. Not if it is kept in an operating freezer. If the meat is left out and exposed and the adult flies are active, eggs could be laid on the meat. As the meat warms up, the eggs could hatch and maggots could grow.
