Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During the bloating stage, fly eggs hatch and large quantities of maggots begin to feed on the flesh. At this point, beetles join in on the feeding frenzy. Some beetles, such as carrion beetles, will feed on the nutrient-rich flesh of the carcass.
Detailed explanation-2: -Active decay stage A strong odor of putrefaction is associated with the carcass. Feeding larvae of Calliphoridae flies are the dominant insect group at carcasses during the active decay stage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Maggots work their magic Larval insects gnaw small holes into the body cavities, allowing gases to escape. Tissues begin to liquefy, giving the carcass a wet appearance, followed by the release of a putrid odour.
