I am going to resign from your Fan club if you keep telling me yours is bigger than ours.
I do think you have more progressives. I haven't seen them washing ashore in gobs like you do.

Once you get away from the right and left coasts there aren't many. It is just a minor infection, not the full blown disease it is in the urban coastal areas.

They could have been feeding on a dead whale.
:movember:
Didn't have to be dead.

I'm buying the seaweed story for now.

And someone isn't good at counting.

Tried counting from the photos and believe there are billions of maggots.

From what I can tell they weigh about 10 milligrams. A 100 ton whale should be good for 100×1000×1000×100 or about 10 billion.

wait maggots eat seaweed?
Yeah, I know, that surprised me too, but that is the official story. Flies apparently lay eggs on the seaweed when conditions are right.

And they seem to think that with current conditions it isn't over yet.

Given that flies multiply like flies this is a big problem with an available food source.

WE have been assured by the powers that be that there are more on the way.

Just a random fact on flies to ponder on ( especially when thinking of maggots) if no fly was killed and they were let to go on unmolested there would within 12 months be a ball of flies the size of the sun.
