Umm... what? If you mean "maggots," as in fly larvae, then yes (beetle larvae look a lot like maggots, but are properly known as grubs, while juvenile moths and butterflies are caterpillars). Gotta have flies to lay eggs that hatch to become maggots which grow into more flies. Which came first...? Never mind.
If you mean "magnets," since you're posting in the geology section, then I think you're confusing terms, because flies have nothing to do with magnets (unless you're talking about their almost supernatural attraction to my open pitcher of lemonade)(that was a joke, by the way) Magnets aren't alive, but are metallic or mineral in nature and happen to have an atomic arrangement where each atom's magnetic moment aligns with the others, reinforcing each other so that the magnetic field extends beyond the physical boundaries of the magnet.
