Flies, particularly sheep blowflies, lay their eggs in sheep's wool because the moist and warm environment provides an ideal habitat for their larvae, known as maggots. The wool can trap moisture and provide shelter from predators, allowing the eggs to hatch successfully. Additionally, the presence of dirt and organic matter in the wool can attract flies, as it offers nutrients for the developing larvae. This behavior can lead to serious health issues for the sheep, including flystrike.
