Not at all, because your right. Maggots are sightless, although they do have sensory organs that act as sort of antennae.

Not necessarily. Ever look at a Caterpillar? The wings don't develop at all until they enter their pupal stage and enter their Chrysallis (Fun fact, Caterpillars that become Butterflies go into a Chrysallis; ones that become Moths develop a Cocoon.)

Entomology student here.

As most people have said, the eyes are not really eyes. They are ocelli, or simple eyes. This is the eye on larvae, like caterpillars and maggots. The ocellus is used as a sensory organ, and not as an eye at all for larvae. I didn't study maggots, but I know caterpillars use it as a way to detect motion and heat but they get no image or very little image from their ocelli. Maggots are probably the same.

A coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of a maggot or the larva of a bluebottle fly (Protophormia sp.) with tiny teeth-like fangs extending from its mouth. The maggots of this fly are used medicinally to clean wounds. The maggots are sterilised and placed in the wound, where they feed on dead tissue and leave healthy tissue untouched. Their saliva contains anti- bacterial chemicals which maintain sterility in the area. Maggots are used on ulcers and deep wounds away from organs or body cavities, most often being used to treat diabetic ulcers on the feet

I find this as interesting as the picture. Never knew these guys were so useful.

From 200 to 300 feet, diving rigs using helium and oxygen as a breathing medium are used. To 300 feet, diving is usually performed on a similar mixed gas system, except descents and ascents are done in a bell. The diver(s) exit the bell only long enough to perform what is (usually) a short work time. This type of diving is sometimes referred to as bell-bounce diving.

The maggot is first put into a vacuum to dry all of the moisture from its body. Then, the maggot is put into a sputter coater (both are usually the same piece of equipment) and is generally covered in a high conductivity metal such as gold. This allows the specimen to be viewed under the microscope. Also, when in the microscope, the bug will be in a high vacuum to insure a large free mean path for the electrons. Essentially, the maggot is long dead before the SEM actually scans its beam into the maggot.

Oh, and in case you didn't know, the color in the image is added to it. SEMs do not view colors, they simply view reflected electrons that are beamed at the sample and then converted to an image! SEMs also have many other uses besides this technique. (I use an SEM quite frequently with my work, and have taken a few bug pictures myself).

edit: found a fuzzy picture of the last one I took. I have better images around, but I can't find any of them. It's a shame.

[–]fourthirds 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I also do SEM work. SEM is all about sample preparation, especially bugs or other biological samples. My method is to first catch the bug and put it in a container in the freezer. This way it will just slow down and die nicely. If you kill it with pesticides or whatever straight away the limbs spasm and crunch up, making it harder to look at the legs.

Once the bug is dead, I hit it with ethanol or some other alcohol. This pulls most of the moisture out of body up front. Then and only then does it go into the vacuum dessicator. If you put it in the vacuum dessicator straight away you can damage the insect by having it rupture. You want to avoid any scenes like at the end of Alien 3.

Once it's dried out, you coat the bug in a conductive material as SS said. Carbon and platinum also work instead of gold. Looking at biological samples is fun.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

We always straight out killed it with ethanol. Find a bug, fill up a vial of EtOH and drop it in there. Inhumane? Maybe, but we mostly dealt with cockroaches and I have no feelings towards those guys. No ruptures, and very quick. But we're physicists, not biologists, so I'm sure you know how to dress and prepare a bug much, much better than my coworkers and I.

What if maggots were actually very intelligent, but we would never know because their cities were so small that we would never see them?

At the risk of being a geek, I'd like to point out that it's a false coloured electron microscope image - electron microscopes cannot show colour, only monochrome images, so colour was added later by someone exercising their artistic licence.
