how an apple get a worm?

Question

i want to describe to my child

Answer 1

All of the answers so far are wrong. A flying insect, butterfly or moth actually lays eggs in the blossom before the apple even begins to form. The apple grows around the egg and a worm forms inside the apple eating as it grows.

By the time the apple is mature and you see a worm hole, the worm has already left the apple. It is burrowing its way out, not in.

After the worm is out of the apple, it forms a cocoon and morphs into the mature butterfly or whatever it's parent was.

Answer 2

the worm is very hungry and very patient - he smells the apples, climbs the tree, and climbs on to the apple. He is very small, so takes very small bites, but eats it the same way you do, with his mouth. The bites are so small that we often don't see the bite hole, but we find the worm inside because he's long.

Then tell him this joke:
What's worse than finding a worm in your apple?
Finding half a worm in your apple!

Answer 3

There are flies (like the Mediterranean fruit fly) that inject eggs through the skin of the apple. The eggs hatch into worms that eat their way into the center of the apple.

If you see holes or dark spots on the apple then slice it open before you bite it.

Answer 4

You mean?...How does a worm get into an apple? It eats it's way in..if you look close you will see a hole in the apple.
