The irruption of carnivorous maggots in Florida
A recent news in Florida brought a big terror to people and shock to scientists. The worst kind of flies (maggots) is now back from the annihilation project which was thought to be completed in 50 years ago. These maggots are super harmful to humans since they eat any livestock, pets, and even humans alive! When an alive animal is laid eggs by adult fly, maggots born from the egg enter into flesh from the wound and start to eat all alive tissues of the animal. This maggots are also called "screwworms" because they have screw-like body and spin to dig into animal skin. This specie was thought to be annihilated by the mass release of radioactively castrated male flies about 50 years ago. Recently however, many dead bodies of wild deer eaten by this maggots have found in Florida. This specie can cause extreme damage to human society, so scientists are rushing to castrate, or genetically annihilate them again.
