So the offspring (maggots) will have an available food source.
Most butterflies don't lay their eggs in garbage. They typically lay their eggs on the plant that their caterpillars will feed on. Monarchs butterflies lay their eggs on milkweed plants. Spicebush swallowtails butterflies lay their eggs on Spicebush, Sassafras, Sweet Bay, and Prickly Ash. You get the idea. I don't know of any butterflies that lay their eggs in garbage, but if they do it is probably the type of garbage that their caterpillars would feed on.
Garbage does not turn into maggots. A maggot is a larva of a fly, basically a just-hatched fly egg. Since flies are attracted by smelly, rotting things, that's where they tend to lay their eggs and where the larvae can feed.
A female adult bot fly can lay from 300 to 1000 eggs in her short life span. The adult bot fly has no other goal in life than to lay eggs.

No it does not.
A fruit fly can lay up to 100-200 eggs in one batch.
a fruit fly can lay 17000 eggs in 10 days
Flies lay eggs in manure and garbage because it provides a suitable environment for their offspring to develop. The decaying organic matter in manure and garbage provides food for the developing larvae, helping them to grow and mature before turning into adult flies. This cycle of reproduction helps flies to thrive and continue their population.
Flies are attracted to various things such as food, moisture, warmth, and odors. They are particularly drawn to decaying organic matter, sugary substances, and garbage where they can feed and lay eggs.
Not Always, Sometimes They Will.
