Pumpkin outside is being eaten by gnats. 

The meat inside is drier and blacker. There are no worms or anything growing on the meat outside.

Cucumber seeds outside are worse than the one inside. The seeds are smaller outside because the seeds inside are popping out. The skin of the cucumber outside is soggy and lighter. The cucumber skin inside is more wrinkly and dent-able.

The banana outside is turning black. Bugs are swarming the banana. No worms; maybe gnats. We believe the gnats are giving it bacteria. The banana inside is getting dark but is not getting as dark as the ones outside. Neither have water. They are both drying out. 

There was no evidence of who or what took advantage of our experiment. We believe the meat attracted the eater because more meat was eaten than the other items. Raccoon is a herbivore, according to our research. A raccoon is believed not to be our criminal. A deer is a herbivore, so it was not a deer. A fox is an omnivore, according to our research. Dog and cats are omnivore. We need to examine the footprint to better identify the predator. 

...verdict is it is a raccoon! 

Bees are also swarming our outside items. Bees can also transfer bacteria, so more bacteria is being spread on our items. We think the bees are attracted to everything but the meat. Bees like sugar and the other three items will have sugar in their break down.
