If you've made it to day 30, you probably aren't too bothered by the pig gore. Besides, we've gotten to know him so well by now. There were a few flies around the body this afternoon, but not too much was happening.
| The lighting was very nice today, and I think piggy was looking particularly handsome in what was left of his head. | The head Courtesy JGordon |

| Another close-up of the holes that have appeared in the skin of the pig's shoulder area. Nothing happening around the holes, but they're still kind of intriguing. | Holes in the skin Courtesy JGordon |
| I spotted a little beetle here, actually, but he ran and hid under these brown guts before I could get a picture of him. He was dark, and about the same size as the pupae here. The back of his shell came to a point, I think. | Some guts: Some of the intestines (?) with plenty of dead maggots and pupae around. Courtesy JGordon |
| Nothing happening here. I just thought it was interesting how much of the skeleton you can see in this area. | Some of the guts and the back legs Courtesy JGordon |
| Tried to snap a picture inside the head. It didn't really work out—I would have had to crawl into the cage to get a good angle, and I'm not yet prepared to do that. | Aiming insinde the head (poorly) Courtesy JGordon |
It is amazing how fast the decomposition happens...
