Flies are just that fast, believe me

They do seem to come from thin air. For this reason they were once believed to be a product of spontaneous generation. Then a scientist put cloth over a jar with meat in it, thus keeping flies out, and no maggots developed. But in the presence of flies, maggots did develop. So, the scientist discovered that maggots are the larval form of flies.

They are the larvae state of flies. The flies lay eggs in decaying matter. The eggs hatch as maggots and the maggots become flies.

Flies, like cockroaches, will survive nuclear wars, hemhorragic fevers and meteor collisions...I imagine. And they are the culprits that lay the eggs that hatch into maggots that grow-up to become flies. A vicious circle indeed!
But one that serves a definite purpose in biology. Maggots rock!

Maggots come from flies. Flies lay their eggs and when they hatch they start out as maggots. Then, if they survive, they mature into flies.

How Do Maggots Reproduce

Maggots are the larvae of flies so yes, they do reproduce once they become adult flies.

Fly lays eggs.
Maggots hatch from eggs.
Maggots pupate into Flys.
And so the circle starts over.
