How does maggots react to meat?

Maggots, which are the larval stage of flies, are attracted to meat due to its smell and the presence of nutrients. They feed on the decaying flesh, breaking it down further as they consume it, which aids in the decomposition process. This feeding behavior can occur rapidly, with large numbers of maggots appearing in a short time when conditions are favorable. Their presence is often associated with the early stages of decomposition.
