HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -House fly larvae, or maggots, appear similar to pale worms. Their sole purpose is to eat and store energy for their upcoming pupation. Larvae feed for approximately five days, after which they find dry, dark locations for pupal development. House fly larvae can be commonly found on rotting plant or animal material.

Detailed explanation-2: -Maggots are the larvae stage of flies and are cream-colored wiggly worms with an insatiable appetite. Maggots often invade kitchens and yards when there is rotting food or decomposing trash around. Flies view these areas as a perfect breeding ground to lay their eggs.

Detailed explanation-3: -A maggot is the larva of a fly (order Diptera); it is applied in particular to the larvae of Brachycera flies, such as houseflies, cheese flies, and blowflies, rather than larvae of the Nematocera, such as mosquitoes and crane flies.

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.
