Many flies do most of their feeding as larvae. Some eat fungi or plants, especially fruit. Some lay their eggs in the stems or leaves, and they larvae give off chemicals that make the plant swell up into a gall. This protects the fly larva and gives it plenty to eat. Other species eat dead animals, and many eat dung

Dung beetle life cycle?

Dung beetles undergo a complete metamorphosis, which includes four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Adult females lay eggs in dung balls, which provide a food source for the developing larvae. After a few days, the eggs hatch into larvae that feed on the dung until they pupate. Once they emerge as adults, they continue the cycle by seeking out new dung to reproduce.
