maggots are the adolecent form of flies. flies lay their eggs, and they hatch into maggots, then the maggots grow into flies, and repeat the process.

Where do maggots come from? They are fly larvae. If an animal has a wound and is left outdoors, the flies will immediately descent on the victim and lay eggs in the wound. The maggots grow large inside and they feed off of the flesh.
Isn't that like asking, what came first.. the chicken or the egg..

The following website explains the life cycle of a common household fly. An excerpt is below...
These are the four distinct stages in an average house fly's life:
Egg: Depending on the size of a female house fly, she can lay up to 500 eggs in a three to four day period. Eggs are white in color and are usually less than half and inch in size.
Larvae: Larvae are commonly referred to as maggots. Maggots emerge from the eggs within eight to 20 hours of being laid. Larvae begin eating whatever they can find in the area they were laid. They prefer warm, moist environments to grow in.
Pupa: After about four to 10 days, a maggot will move to higher, drier ground to move into the pupa stage of its life. This process take about three to six days and is where the maggot encases inself in a reddish-brown skin where the final stages of development take place.
Adult: Once the adult house fly hatches from the pupal stage, it has an approximate life span of 15 to 30 days. Females are able to start producing eggs after two days of life and will continue to lay eggs for about a month. Female house flys are usually larger than the males.

2 flies meet each other at a bar, and begin dating. Now when one fly REALLY loves the other.... keep in mind though maggots are too immature to understand true love.

maggots is one of the stage of the life cycle of certain living organisms that have to pass through to get to their final stage. It's just like human beings from egg------sperm-----clot of blood----baby. an example is housefly, butterfly, etc.
