Artist's Comments

The fly uses the pressure of its internal fluids to push itself out of the pupa. The head swells like a pulsating balloon during the process substantially adding to the grossness of the whole occurrence.

that really is gross. I've never seen anything like this before, though to me, it's similar with a tick's tail, which is very disgusting as well.
it's so science- fiction without being fiction!

Wow, that's interesting. Again, your gallery is a biologists dream. Maybe I'll use it in my teaching some day :laughing:
