All About Bugs — the last batch

This was a rotten apple.  You couldn’t see that from the outside.  What was the cause of the rotton apple?

 

 

 

The bugs. 

 

There were different kinds of insects that use fruit as a host.  The female adults will lay eggs inside of the fruit.  As the fruit grows, they either make into adult form or being crushed between the skin and the body of the fruit because of the position the egg was laid.

 

Mimi also remembered that she had a candy apple from the Apple Festival last month.  The apple was bad, exactly with the brown mark inside it.  Aren’t you glad you didn’t finish that apple?

 

 

Mimi learned different stages of life from the fruit flies exhibit.  They did an excellent job explaining mutation in a way that Mimi can understand.  Mutation sometimes comes as a form of accident.  In some cases, their mutated gene can be enhanced to create another new species.  Regardlessly, mutated fruit flies will be hard to catch in the wild.  They are mostly created in the lab.
