A housefly lays eggs on a dead animal, so the maggots can hatch out and begin eating the dead animal right away. The fly may also lay eggs on an open wound, or on the rear of sheep. Farmer's regularly inspect for maggots on their animals.

House flies are the matured version of what we know as a maggot. The flies lay their eggs which hatch into the maggot. The maggot matures and turns into a fly.
