So while we wait for our Dead Stuff Jars and Columns to give us some data we predict we'll be getting, we decided to look for some videos that can help us really understand what's going on with the badger.
time lapse maggots eating meat HD
A timelapse video of a chunk of meat eaten up by maggots. Photographed over a week. Photo taken every 15 minutes at the beginning, every 2 minutes at the end.
Flies lifecycle (#115)

Both these videos confirmed what we've been wondering...
That the flies we see at the beginning of what goes on with the badger's body are connected to the white wiggly things we see at the end. And it also goes to explain how the badger's body is disappearing because the white critters eat the dead badger!
We built our own models to explain this...

And then came to consensus on what was really happening! We then connected our understanding to the bar model in math (we researched the weight of a female fly and each of its eggs).
And when all the math was all said and done...we made sure we really understood what was happening when dead stuff "disappears!" We've still got some questions though...check back soon!
