What are names of the stages that a fruit fly goes through when maturing from a fertilized egg?
The fruit fly has four stages to its life cycle. These are egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The egg will hatch into a larva after about twenty four hours being lain. The larva will moult twice in its life time. During these moulting periods the cuticle, mouth, hooks, and spiracles will be shed. Pupation will start after the second moult, when the larva will become hard and dark in colour. The puparium is where the metamorphosis takes place. Just before the adult fly emerges from the puparium, the pupa will darken in colour. About twenty four hours before the adult is ready to brake out of the pupa, the folded wings and pigments of the eyes can be seen through the puparium's shell. When the metamorphosis is complete, the adult will force its way out of the top of the puparium. To begin with, the fly looks light in colour with a long abdomen and unexpanded wings, but within a few short hours the fly becomes darker in colour, more rounded in the abdomen, and it will extend its wings. About forty eight hours after emerging from the puparium, female are able to start laying eggs. However, there are only twelve hours of the adult females life that it can be considered to be a virgin. A female fruit fly can store sperm after a single insemination and use it many times for reproduction. This enables the female fruit fly to be fertile for life and lay many eggs with out needing to mate every time.
Bot fly is any of various stout, two-winged flies, chiefly of the genera Gasterophilus and Oestrus, having larve that are parasitic on various animals, especially horses and sheep, and sometimes on humans.
In general, bugs lay eggs on or near food. A grub hatches from the egg and eats the food. It grows and then spins a caccoon and then undergoes metamorphosis into the adult form of the bug. And the cycle repeats.

The same fly if allowed will bite numerous times. If I see one of these on one of my horses I do my best to kill it. Then I will spray some extra fly spray on the horse in case the fly brought friends. I have been bitten by horseflies several times and they are painful. Almost like a bee sting, so I do what I can to prevent them.

eg. nectar from flowers, germ infested food from rubbish bins

What should you do to protect your food from flies?
The most common fly to be found in the home (and subsequently the one which eats our food!) is the Musca domestica, or Common House Fly. As this fly can only eat liquid food they will ‘spit’ out saliva onto solid foods to aid in pre-digestion. Also due to their high intake of food they almost constantly deposit faecal matter. This coupled with the ‘vomiting’ increases your chances of coming into contact with the diseases they carry. Flies can also carry diseases ‘picked up’ from contact with infected humans, such as Typhoid or Polio. As well as the above, Flies can also cause/spread Diarrhoea, vomiting, anthrax, cholera, eye-infections… That’s why we cover our food!

How do you get rid of maggots on a rabbitts but?
You wash the fecal matter off the rabbit's butt, you may have to let it soak, then trim the fur and get rid of the maggots and infection caused by them. You may need to use hydrogen peroxide and Neosporin ointment to combat the infection. Hopefully the maggots have not began to eat on the rabbit's flesh. Clean their cage and disinfect it. Prevent the buildup from happening again by increasing their roughage like adding straw or hay to their diet.
This happens a lot in the breeds that have wool (ie: angoras, fuzzy lops) but can occur in the other breeds. The main cause is a dirty cage, although it can start with loose stools. The soft morning stool needs to be able to fall thru the wire if your rabbit is not re ingesting it. A dirty setting board is also a likely culprit. Setting boards should be cleaned and disinfected weekly just like water dishes and feeders are. If there is no wound on the rabbit, the maggots show up after a fly has layed eggs in the built up fecal matter. If they have hatched out it means that your bunny has had a dirty butt for more than a week. More fiber will help but probably not be much help if the cage is dirty and not cleaned weekly.
