Curious vegetable fly described as a growing “fly tree”
The article recounts a remarkable insect called the vegetable fly of the West Indies. It begins life underground in May, sprouts above ground by June, and reaches about three inches tall by July as a tree-like formation. Pods on its branches open in August releasing worms that become flies to nourish another generation, with Dr. Martinisque of the Royal Institute providing scientific commentary.
