No - they are the immature form of insects. They only reach sexual maturity after they've moulted into adults.
Yes they mate and then lay eggs in meat or rotting food which hatch maggots that turn into fly's
Maggots are actually immature flies and beetles. Think of the as less cool butterflies. Butterflies are first caterpillars as are flies to maggots. Flies live for about 48 hours. They lay their eggs in rotting flesh and die. The maggots hatch, reach maturity, and repeat the cycle as an adult fly.
Those white maggots are fly larva (fly babies) and they will turn into flies. Chances are, once they are grown, they will mate and die right there in the compost heap. And have more maggots. So if you like the idea of flies living in your garden, no it's not a bad thing. If not, well....
Some maggots such as housefly maggots prefer decomposing meat or flesh. Although some maggots live in decomposing logs or trees. These are just a few places where maggots live.
No , maggots are from flies
Maggots are the larvae of flies, and they do not lay eggs themselves. Adult flies lay eggs, which then hatch into maggots.
rotting flesh and other maggots
We are born with parasites, not maggots.
After a dog defecates, flies are drawn to their fecal matter. The flies eat what they want and then mate and lay eggs in the feces. Flies try to always lay eggs where their young will have something to eat as soon as they are able. So the fly larvae (maggots) hatch and grow in the dog mess.
Scoleciphobia, Fear of maggots or worms
Flies lay their eggs and they hatch as maggots
