Where do they come from?

Question

1. maggots, worms- i never saw them crawling into decomposing garbage or something, so far they just pop up a couple of days or so. Do they just mutate or something?are they inside every living thing and just comes out when they die. LOL

2. Grass - a part in africa i think it was kenya becomes a dessert during summer, but when the rainy season starts grass just grew again. where did thy come from, are they hybernating or something on the ground, or there seeds are caried by air from a nearby grass land, which i highly doubt, not all grass has flowers.

3. Pigeon - have any of you guys even saw a baby pigeon, seems like when there eggs hatch they re already adults.

4. Flies - never saw a baby fly as well, and whenever theres garbage they just pop up. do they travel that far from a nearby citty or village or something?

Answer 1

Fly come from maggots.  They lay eggs on food, which hatch and grow to maggots (larvae).  The maggots then grow to become adult flies.

Grass can grow from either seeds or dormant roots and rhizomes under the ground.

Baby pigeons, and most birds, mature quickly to leave the nest.  This reduces the strain of the parents to provide food.

Answer 2

1.  Number 1 and 4 are connected- maggots are baby flies.  Adult flies lay eggs in the garbage, they hatch as maggots, and the maggots morph into flies (a process called metamorphosis).

2.  Grasses are very hardy- the top may die back, but the roots remain alive and dormant.  As soon as it receives water, the plant sends out new shoots.

3.  How many baby birds of any species have you seen?  They generally stay in the nest until they are ready to begin flying.  At that point, they look like small adults.

4.  See number 1.

Answer 3

#1 & #4 are related.  Flies lay eggs in dead/rotting stuff.  Eggs hatch little maggots.  Big maggots pupate.  Pupae hatch adult flies.  Same thing as butterflies.  

#2 grass holds on in the roots, and in wet seasons, seeds can try to get a start.

#3 Pigeons - they go same as any other bird - egg to hatchling to larger hatchling until they fall, leap or are booted out of the nest.  For days to weeks they are fed on the ground.  If your pet cat doesn't get them first, they grow and exercise wings and finally go their way.

Did you know that some maggots are good for badly infected, putrid wounds on living animals?  They eat only the dead, really infected flesh leaving the living flesh alone and taking a load off the body's defenses.  Healing occurs much faster.

Answer 4

1. Maggots come from your eyes. When you look at garbage or dead stuff, maggots shoot out from your eyes, land on the stuff, and eat it.

2. Africa has mood grass that changes colors with the mood of the Earth.

3. It's true. Pigeons hatch from eggs as full grown adult pigeons. They are really crammed into those eggs, kind of like those springy snakes in a can.

4. Flies use a built-in cloaking device until they are adults and find food. They must de-cloak themselves to eat.

Answer 5

maggots come from flys and flys lay the maggots

grass is weeds

pigeons lay the eggs in a nest

cant always see whats there until its time to see it

Answer 6

1. flies lay them maggot eggs and worms like come from the ground

2. summer is too hot to grow the grass maybe it was there all along

3. idk

4.baby flies are not flies they are maggots

Answer 7

1 and 4.  Maggots are fly larvae (baby flies).  Flies lay their eggs hundreds of them) in the garbage and in a day or less, the maggots hatch.  After living for a week or so, they form a pupae and transform into flies.

2.  Grass seed can remain viable through the dry weather and then grow when rainy weather comes.  This could also be grass with deep roots that survive the dry season and come up when it rains.

3.  Yes, I've seen lots of baby pigeons.  You just haven't been where pigeons nest.  Ours were in the hayloft of the barn.  Birds can't fly as soon as they are hatched.  They are fed and cared for by their parents until they are old enough to fly.
