Fishing
I fish, and as bait we use maggots. One day when i was younger, it was a sunny day so i decided to clean out my fishing box (it was full of all sorts of crap - old bait etc)

I carried my fishing box outside, - it was giving off a low buzzing noise. 'Weird' I thought. Then I dropped the box and it opened. What followed was quite strange as a black cloud flew out of the fishing box and enveloped me.

If you can remember the old Cartoons, where the character gets chased by a cloud of Bees, well, these weren’t bees, but harmless Blue bottles - thousands of them.

Even though - like I said - they were harmless...but having buzzing insects flying through your hair and all over your body, makes you dance like a monkey on speed.

I've done that myself
There's nothing quite like opening your baitbox after it's been in the garage a couple of months, to find out that you forgot to empty it.

I've done that as well
although in my case I was so dilatory about cleaning my tackle (hem hem) that the bait box was full of dead bluebottles. I often wondered how I would have reacted if I'd have cleaned it out while they were still alive. Now I know: I would have danced like a monkey on speed. Another of life's questions answered.

The fact
that you can hear them buzzing ruled them out of Erwin Schrödinger's famous thought experiment!

Good god,
the first thing I do when I get home is clean out my tackle box. There's nothing worse than the smell of rotting worms. *bleurgh*
