* Nature's Decomposers: Bugs, especially beetles, flies, and ants, are nature's decomposers. They play a crucial role in breaking down dead animals and plants, returning nutrients to the soil.
* Attraction to Decay: The smell of decaying flesh attracts these insects. They lay their eggs on the carcass, and the larvae (maggots) feed on the flesh, contributing to its decomposition.
* A Cycle of Life: This process is a natural part of the ecosystem. The bugs don't just eat the jaguar; they break it down into smaller pieces, which are then consumed by other animals or absorbed by the soil, providing nourishment for plants.
So, while it's a bit gruesome to think about, it's a crucial part of the natural cycle of life and death.
