If a dead body is in the casket where would the maggots come from if no flies are in the casket to lay any eggs?

Maggots can come from fly eggs that were already present on the body before it was placed in the casket. Flies can lay eggs on a body quickly after death, even before it is buried. Additionally, some flies may gain access to the body as it decomposes through small openings in the casket.


How do maggot's reproduce?

Maggots reproduce through a process called oviposition, in which adult flies lay eggs in decaying organic matter. The eggs hatch into larvae, which eventually develop into adult flies. This life cycle completes in about 7-10 days under favorable conditions.
