I had no idea that maggots jumped. I had no idea flies had balloons in their heads. This was a great video!

Its exactly what i would film if i had a slo mo camera. so charming

Those hi res fly pictures are incredible.

I love insect mains, they don’t spec a lot of points into health and size, leaving their builds with a lot of points to spend on unique mechanics.

Found Tierzoo's alt

I turn over the compost and found numerous maggots. These are 1/4 inch long, 1/32 inch thick maggots. They can jump up to 3 inches high! Amazing.

That's awesome, can't wait to hear more about these little guys!

This is underrated like crazy. This deserves millions of views. I love your work. Please don’t stop

Maggot: **is born** Maggot: **Jumps** yoooooooooo!

Keep the fly stuff coming! We dipterists cannot get enough! The family Lonchaeidae, which Dasiops is a member of, is fairly common but I only collect them occasionally. They are easy to spot with their deep metallic blue/black coloration and large eyes. Thanks!

Thanks to Johnny Pemberton for bringing me here! Thoughts from Ontario to keep you jumping!!!!!!

your videos are so full of curiousity.. i love the way you see the world

My curiosity got me here. I opened a pear and found a maggot inside. It bent similar to what was shown in the video. It catapulted towards me and landed on the floor. It moved so fast i lost it. Never thought baby wormies could behave like that.

Goodness gracious me! I learn new things every day! Of course thanks to people who do the discovery and research experimentation, and then share the knowledge with the world.

I'm phobic of maggots and trying so hard to expose myself to alleviate my fears. It's to the point I am terrified of taking out garbage or even opening the lid

This is awesome, I love seeing such a close look at the tiny world that exist around us

that one was the most dramatic jump i've ever seen lol 😂

Hi, love your videos. So interesting & you are great at explaining what we are seeing.

The larva at the end looks like a Laemophloeid but you’re definitely aware of what it is by now.

Have seen these in fruits. Was pretty amused and shocked when they leaped out of a mango out of my plate one after another. Also found them in guavas..Incredible somersaulting these guys do..

Since you guys are ant specialists keep your eyes peeled for tiny flies in the family Phoridae. A huge and diverse family that includes many ant parasitoids. The larvae, which are placed on the adult ant by the female fly, end up causing decapitation of the host. If you observe an ant colony very closely you might see these little flies buzzing around the foraging ants. Many thanks!!

That dead tree holds key to the recipe of gummy berry juice.

Amazing!

Fascinating!

Super scary! Found these maggots in unripe jackfruit.

I was today's years old when I found out maggots can jump so far. i even saw one arch its body to gain momentum and almost got into my shirt! I screamed like a pig LMAO

I would love for you or Matt to do a video on black soldier flies and/or their larvae.

Wow , nature .♥️

Dr.Matt Looks like he'd do a great professor Griswold impression. If you look up what I mean, remember not to dig too deep.

That was cool. Never got to witness anything like that before. I did watch a Garter snake give live birth. That was amazing. I even helped

What insect that last larva becomes? Once I was taking a tree protection out looking for insects when I heard a sound kind like a cicada or a cricket but way lower. When I checked what was making the sound, I found that larva. The same happened in another tree.

I remember opening a plate and a maggot immediately jump at me and my brother and my dad said its still good to eat

The jumping maggot for rotten jackfruit, dragon fruit, and old chili pepper while to be opened a fruit it.

This series on jumping insects is fascinating. Stepping back a bit, it's also fascinating when you think about how human civilization evolved wherein becoming civilized we created an ability for individuals to specialize into niches of expertise that offer benefits of knowledge we wouldn't otherwise get as hunter-gatherers. You gotta admit, jumping insect study isn't a general science.

I swear I've seen seed pods that burst open this same way - touch-me-not, I think. Wonder how similar the mechanisms are.

Yeah, there are definitely spring-loaded seed pods that spring open and launch seeds. It’s cool stuff!

@@AntLab There is also a caterpillar who exclusively eats these pods... For some reason, they were also thought to be extinct... I wonder why a caterpillar who's only food literally explodes on them, was thought extinct.

Could anybody tell what is the species of the larval animal that was shown at the end?

What senses do maggots have?

Wow!

She was a fairy 🧚🏻

cool video dude :D

Are these dangerous if consumed by mistake?

they have an air bag on their head, that is so funny

nice background music

Is there any specific reason and trigger that makes them jump?

Ah so that's why when I setup a maggot trap I'd get a few inches away from the jar. And for those wondering i feed em to my ants might as well let nature give me some free feed from my trash lol

This is kinda giving me Magnus Archives vibes

I'm am Beelzebull is what my friends call me I have a bunch of pet fly's I have had for 8 year's now and they carry a really unusual bond with me they stay and come when I call them. Is that something anyone else has experienced? Fly's that love me and come when I make a type of sound?
