my mom said that when she was young and lived in china, it was humid in the house. she once left a pot of porridge in a dark corner and forgot about it. when she needed the pot again, which was around 10 days later, she found that there were bugs inside the pot. btw, the pot had a little hole on its lid(its a chinese pot) Is that possible? she said it had nothing to do with flies though....but i dont believe it

lets say that the bugs did NOT come from flies or any other bug, is it possible that it just came from the air?!?!?

Yes, I believe it, I made a sauce once and as we didn't eat it all left it out for my husband, later that day my daughter was rushe to hospital, so my hubby not thinking just left the pan in the oven not realising there was sauce in it, a week later when my daughter got out from hospital I discovered the pan full of maggots, it is very hot and humid in the summer here, I just threw the pan and it;s contents out, bugs love warm humid conditions.

Chances are...just like in a bowl of cereal. The bugs and eggs are already in there.
