Where did the flies and maggots come from.?

Flies and maggots typically originate from the eggs laid by adult flies. Female flies are attracted to decaying organic matter, such as food waste or dead animals, where they deposit their eggs. Once the eggs hatch, larvae, commonly known as maggots, emerge and feed on the decomposing material, facilitating the breakdown of organic matter. This process is a natural part of the ecosystem, aiding in decomposition and nutrient recycling.
