What do the flies eggs hatch into?
A
Adult Flies
B
Pupas
C
Worms
D
Maggots
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During her adult life, approximately 1-3 months, she is capable of producing 4-5 batches of 100-150 eggs. These hatch within 48 hours into smooth, white legless maggot larvae and after 3 moults mature into pupae. Approximately 3-4 weeks after this they develop into adult flies.

Detailed explanation-2: -Within a day, house fly eggs hatch into larvae, also known as maggots. Maggots are legless, white insects that feed from the egg-laying site for three to five days. During this time, maggots molt several times. They then choose a dark place to pupate.

Detailed explanation-3: -House Fly (Musca domestica) House flies typically lay eggs on animal feces and garbage. White, legless maggots (the larval stage) hatch from the eggs and grow to about ½ inch. When fully grown, maggots crawl away from their food source to undergo the pupal stage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Maggots are fly larvae, usually of the common housefly and also the bluebottle. Flies are attracted to food and other rubbish; they lay their eggs on the rubbish; later the eggs hatch into maggots. You will only have a problem with maggots if flies can get to your waste.

Detailed explanation-5: -Flies lay eggs that turn into maggots. Eventually, the maggots will become adult flies. Once they reach adult stage, they can repeat the cycle all over again. Maggots have a pretty simple life cycle-from eggs laid by adult flies, they turn into maggots.
