Insects do not have brains as we define them, but they do have groups of nerve cells in several locations that basically act as brains. I believe the biggest one is in the insect's head, so it's actually not too wrong to conclude that insects do have brains.
Brains do not direct the development of an insect's body any more than a brain directs the development of a human body. As the larval insect grows, small groups of cells form in several locations. When the insect pupates, that is, ceases activity so that it can metamorphose from a larva to an adult, these groups of cells grow, divide, and ultimately consume most of the larval cells, eventually becoming the adult.

yes of course maggots have brains in time when they eat anough they turn into flies but before that they go into this stage like a caterpillar all of that and everything and what determines a maggots wings when they turn into flies is temperature. like if its cool enough they going to have straight wings and if they are in heat their wings will curve.
