Have you ever squashed a fly and found maggots already squirming inside the fly? This is because some fly species are ovoviviparous - i.e. the eggs hatch inside the mother. Other flies eggs hatch immediately, as soon as they are laid (or reach a warm temperature).

How long does it take to get maggots?
Fly eggs hatch after about one day. Actual maggots become apparent after about four days. It is then about three weeks before they become flies.
Do rabbits have worms on there legs?
NO! Take it to a vet immediately! If you have a long haired rabbit, and it has feces stuck in it's fur, flies will lay eggs, and cause maggots. Always ensure that you groom your rabbit regularly. If your rabbit has got maggots, like the other answer says "Take it to the veterinarian".

What do maggots look like?
Maggots of houseflies look like little white worms, about a quarter inch long, and they move constantly. Maggots of horse flies are much larger and a darker color.
Does pork and coke really make worms and maggots?
You really don't need the cola for the maggots to grow on pork meat. You can go to the extreme to see the magotts when the swine is still alive. No. Maggots are the larval forms of flies. If you leave pork or any other meat out where flies can land on it, and leave it there long enough, you will get maggots.
What will happen if you eat flies passing the stage of magots?
Eating maggots is harmless so long as they are clean maggots. this is achieved by placing the maggots in a tub of bran which they eat cleaning there internal organs. In some countries an cultures maggots are considered a delicacy.
What is a magget?
well, a fly lays it's eggs in a rotting, moist material. the maggots emerge from the eggs in warm weather within 8 to 20 hours, and they immediatly feed on, and grow in, the material where the eggs were laid. These larvae are 3 to 9mm long, and creamy white in color. When the maggots are full grown, they crawl away to a dry, cool place near breeding material, and transform to the pupal stage. Flies spread disease to animals. Myiasis is the infection of an animal with maggots. Common cattle, sheep, and deer myiasis also accurs in humans, when certain flies are attracted to wounds, where they lay eggs. The hatched maggots then burrow into the skin. Depending on the type of fly, the larvae remain in the skin and cause lesions, or they move through the body and cause damage to various organs. Hope I Helped! And YUCK! EWW! MAGGOTS! GROSSSS!!!!!
How would maggots get into a solid chicken egg that was left out in the sun?
They can't. As long as the shell is intact, fly eggs (maggots) cannot get into the interior of the egg. If there is a break or small hole in the shell, then it would be possible. In some cuisine, duck eggs are buried and allowed to ferment for a time and then served to people. They are safe to eat as long as the shell is unbroken.
What happens if your dog eats maggots?
Maggots are just eating dead flesh or decaying plant matter. They will be dissolved by the dog's digestive acids, which are much higher than ours because they are carnivours and we are omnivours. They will probably benefit from the protein. Dogs are scavengers naturally and have been eating rotten flesh for a long time, they have evolved to deal with it. If your dog has been eating canned and dry food all it's life it might have some digestive upset from eating too much rotten meat at once, it will adapt if exposed slowly. However, on a similar note, you can eat a cherry with a worm in it. Parasites are very specific creatures and a worm which has adapted it's life cycle to depend on fruit trees isn't going to survive in your, or your dog's digestive system. Intestinal worms have a different life cycle geared towards mammals bodies. You just have to be careful of getting worms if you are working with manure...and your dog shouldn't be eating feces (as they do sometimes), definitely could get worms that way.
What do entomologists do at a crime scene?
There may be any number of uses for an entomologist at a crime scene. But most typically, their expertise is used to help determine how long a body has been deceased, and how long it has been at the scene. For example, by examining the degree to which flies have been reproducing on/in the corpse, they can determine how long the body has been dead. If there are no live maggots present, then the flies have not had much time to lay eggs and hatch them, and therefore the body cannot have been dead for very long. Or, let's say you find a body in the woods that is badly decomposed, but, there are NO maggots on it. Clearly, the body cannot have been recently deceased, because it is so obviously badly decomposed. The absence of maggots would thus indicate that the body had been wrapped up and stored somewhere where flies could not land on it -- maybe wrapped in plastic garbage bags and stuffed into an old, broken refrigerator -- and then moved and dumped in the woods later. The absence of the flies/maggots would also tell you that whoever moved the body and dumped it could not have done so very long ago. Since the body has no maggots on it, it must have been dumped only a couple of hours before it was discovered. Or, there may be signs that a particular insect has been feasting on the body. Say you find evidence that sand flies have been eating a body. Sand flies are found only on the beach. But the body was found in the mountains. Thus, the presence of sand flies would be a sign that the body had been killed on the beach, left there for several hours, and then moved to the mountains later and dumped there.
Can maggots get into your body?
Maggots do not harm humans, seeing maggots feasting off of a dead corpse, animal or simply rotting flesh is only the nature of the maggots. They eat Dead flesh and they have not caused the fate of the corpse. Although, there is a possible way that certain species of flies can lay a larvae of Maggots into a living person. I.e mosquito larvae. Therefore it can be infected and become fatal to the host. Although, it is the Infection itself that is harmful, not the maggots. And is quite easy to remove the maggots from the host in itself and many doctors have seen action of this.
