Why do flies eat feces?
I had to clean up some dog poop today because some irresponsible dog owner didn't clean up after their flea bag mangy mutt. When I finally got around to picking it up, I noticed it was covered with flies and it seemed as if a good portion of it was gone. Is that possible?

They are tasty and nutritious, to a fly that is.
Yes, flies and many other insects eat poop. If they did not there would be a whole lot more of it around. Basically anything organic is eaten by something, and poop contains a lot of nutrients. That is why a lot of people think flies are gross and can spread disease when they land on food.
the entire spare vitamins and minerals that has handed out of the animals frame. the meals that is going into the animal is stuffed with vitamins and minerals, typically now not all of the ones vitamins and minerals are wanted within the frame and go away within the type of poopoo =] and the flies take that during.
