Maggots!
Around this time last year, Durham Region started up its green bin program. We put kitchen scraps into a green bin, which gets picked up and composted as part of a waste diversion program. I think it’s a good idea, but when we first started it last year, we had a little issue with maggots:

I haven’t been to robmaeder.com in a while, it’s very insecty now.
Funny you should say maggots, please allow me a story of maggots: When I lived in Scarborough we were infested with maggots under our couch. (have I told you this story?) I put a sock over my hand and picked all that I could see up one by one and threw them off of the balcony. There must’ve been at least 40.
However, in later weeks of the summer it bacame apparent I didn’t get all of them as there were quite a number of flies in the apartment (maggots turn into flies). But, because these flies were born and bred in our apartment they were very weak and easy to kill. I had a good time killing many of them with my bare hand against my bedroom window. But I never cleaned them off and in the winter they all became little bits of mold on my window.
Big Moth too! it looks like a garden ornament.
