well, a fly lays it's eggs in a rotting, moist material. the maggots emerge from the eggs in warm weather within 8 to 20 hours, and they immediatly feed on, and grow in, the material where the eggs were laid. These larvae are 3 to 9mm long, and creamy white in color. When the maggots are full grown, they crawl away to a dry, cool place near breeding material, and transform to the pupal stage.

Flies spread disease to animals. Myiasis is the infection of an animal with maggots. Common cattle, sheep, and deer myiasis also accurs in humans, when certain flies are attracted to wounds, where they lay eggs. The hatched maggots then burrow into the skin. Depending on the type of fly, the larvae remain in the skin and cause lesions, or they move through the body and cause damage to various organs.

Hope I Helped! And YUCK! EWW! MAGGOTS! GROSSSS!!!!!
