After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs at the base of grasses (Poaceae). After hatching, the maggots eat their way into and through the young sprouts and later feed on the young leaves of the grass plants. Further growth of such plants can be disrupted by this, or even prevented. The damage patterns on grass plants vary. Ragged, cracked leaves, are...
...even prevented. The damage patterns on grass plants vary. Ragged, cracked leaves, are often seen, as are swollen stems at ground level or near the ground, or the formation of 3 to 4 stalks on the same plant. Seedlings may be cut off at the base. The maggots reach body lengths of up to 5 mm. Approximately 30 days after hatching from the eggs, the maggots have completed their development and they leave the host plants and pupate. | | |
| | The larvae of flesh flies are known as maggots. In the first stage of their development they breathe through their skin. However from the third larval stage on, they use their tracheal system. Maggots feed on animal substrates, some also on carrion. Others are parasitoids and live on earthworms, snails, scorpions, cockroaches, beetles and cicadas. | | |
| | | The females lay 100 to 150 eggs in garbage, compost, food or excrement. The larvae (maggots) hatch within a day and immediately start feeding on the rotting substrates surrounding them. The larvae have no legs and there is no clear separation between their heads and bodies. The maggots later pupate and remain as pupae for about 3-8 days before hatching as adult flies. 3 days after hatching they reach sexual maturity. A single female may produce 900 new houseflies within one month. | | |

Many species choose specific animals as the host - which body orifice of the host animal is chosen for egg laying also depends on the species. The hatching maggots (larvae) develop accordingly in the nasal mucous membrane, the throat or beneath the skin (subcutis) of their host animals. Egg laying can be a risky business for some females as the larvae hatch very fast and can attack their own mothers.

The larvaes’ stay in the host animals can last as long as several months. In their last larval stage the maggots leave the host animal and fall down to the soil to pupate.

In the direction of the exit the female then builds a new cell and then another and so on. When the larvae hatch they are like maggots and they develop for 3 weeks. They then turn into pupae and finish their development in June. | | |
| | The female drone flies lay their eggs in sewage treatment plants and other muddy or foul waters. The larvae have a breathing tube, which is up to 100 mm in length. Therefore they are known as rat-tailed maggots. The larvae of drone flies develop to a body length of up to 20 mm. Due to the fact that they filter feculent particles from the water, they contribute to the clarification of water. | | |
| | Bluebottles are regarded as problematic as they carry diseases. Furthermore they make food unfit for human consumption. However blue bottles assist in the pollination of the plants, whose nectar they feed on. Moreover, their larvae (maggots) have been reintroduced in the field of medicine, - in the treatment of wounds. The bluebottle’s role as a decomposer of carrion is also beneficial. | | |
| | The larvae of Helophilus pendulus are called rat-tailed maggots and live in muddy waters (including slurry pits) where they feed on rotting organic substrates. They breathe through a long ‘snorkel’ attached to the end of their abdomen which runs to the surface of the water. | | |

The females lay their eggs in the nostrils or eyes of sheep. The larvae hatch from their eggs inside the females and are shot into the host animals in drops of liquid. The host animals resist this. The laying of the maggots must be done quickly, otherwise the mother will be attacked by her own brood. The larvae, approximately 500 in number, nest in the nasal cavities and sinuses of the sheep, remaining there for months. In the spring of the following year, the host... | | |
| | The thick-legged hoverfly is common in almost all habitats, gardens, meadows, fields, however it is rare in forests. The females feed on pollen while the males eat nectar. The larvae (rat-tailed maggots) live in compost, manure and waste. The adult flies are active from April to September. | | |
