Bluebottle flies, belonging to the genus Calliphora, lay their eggs in decaying organic matter, such as rotting meat or decomposing plants. The female bluebottle fly lays hundreds of eggs at once, which are often deposited in clusters. These eggs are small and white, and they hatch into larvae (maggots) within a day or so, which then feed on the surrounding material to grow. The entire life cycle, from egg to adult, can occur rapidly, depending on environmental conditions.
