Flies can arise from rotting meat?

Well, it is one place from where new flies do arise. Flies are scavengers and carrion eaters. The short form of the life cycle is this: critter dies, lady fly lands on dead critter and lays eggs, larva in the form of maggots emerge from the eggs, maggots eat, grow, and develop into new flies and rise off the remains of dead critter. Incidentally, maggots only eat dead or rotting meat. Maggots cannot eat live flesh.
