Every time one lands on a new food source, it regurgitates a special digestive liquid to tenderize the meal and lick up the juice. That means bacteria from its last stop just landed in your potato salad.</p><p>Flies can eat anything from filthy garbage to filet mignon.</p><p>But their offspring may have even more voracious appetites.</p><p>Maggots. Fly larvae look disgusting, but they act as nature's recyclers, breaking down dead animals.</p><p>After just a few days of gorging, the maggots retreat into a pupa, the end stage of a life cycle that goes from egg to adult in as little as a week.</p><p>If only human teenagers grew up that quickly.</p>",
