One day I made some ramen noodles and accidentally spilled them. Some of them hit the floor but most remained in the bowl.
I don't know why but I decided to put them in a ziplock bag and leave them out for a while. I looked at it again a few weeks later and there were maggots inside the bag, it confused me because there was no way an insect could have gotten in or out of the bag .
I looked and saw no insect inside the bag just larvae. I have no insects in my apartment other than a few tarantulas and scorpions ( arachnids. ) And the occasional stink bug.
My question is how did a fly get inside a bag with no entry or exit, lay eggs and leave?

Perhaps there were eggs in the bag before you sealed it?

Food like that sometimes has a few insect eggs in it. Anything made of flour.
There was a TV show called "After people" or something that showed what would happen if humans were suddenly wiped out at once. One episode was what would happen to all the food in Supermarkets, and it said how a lot of the food would have insect eggs that would hatch and... Fuck it was disgusting. It makes me never want to eat again.
