HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -How soon the eggs will hatch, depends on the type of flies in question but within few hours, maggots can be seen crawling beneath the flesh. When the maggots hatch the first thing they do is burrow under the skin, leaving tiny holes, like pock marks all over the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Flesh flies are stripey-backed or chequered flies, often with bright red eyes. They arrive at corpses slightly later than the pioneer blowflies, but the eggs hatch in the uterus of the female, before she lays them, with the result that the larvae are deposited directly on the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The fly is extremely sensitive to odors associated with decomposition. Some biologists estimate that within 15 minutes of a person’s death, the insect can detect the corpse-which serves as a potential incubator, hiding place, and feeding station all in one.

Detailed explanation-4: -Large, strong flying, highly mobile flies are typically the first insects to be attracted by the faint aromas emanating from a fresh corpse. Blow flies (family: Calliphoridae) frequently arrive within minutes to a few hours after death, and are generally the first individuals to arrive at a crime scene.
