life after death
The demise of a young “button buck” gives new life to a variety of creatures from vultures to flies. This white-tailed deer was dead for just over a day and its body had been picked to the bone by scavengers. Late in the day the flies had taken over what was left and were breeding and laying eggs on the carcass. Flies are important in disposing of organic waste.
