Meat that has come into contact with such flies should never be consumed by people, for the oviposition of flies carry various pathogens into food. The metabolic products of the maggots are also dangerous. | | |
| | The flesh fly maggots, also called "flesh worms" hatch immediately at suitable temperatures. However, it may be several hours before they begin eating the meat. To aid with this process they are able to liquefy the meat with the help of enzymes. The larvae brea... | | |

The larvae breathe through a "snorkel", which is attached to the tip of the abdomen and runs up to the surface of the water, hence the name rat-tailed maggots. The larvae can reach lengths of 20 mm and feed on putrid sludge and dead organic matter, which they filter from the water. They make an important contribution to water clarification. | | |

Here, the oxygen content of the water plays a decisive role, as egg-laying can even take place in cesspools. From these eggs the so-called "rat-tailed maggots" hatch – larvae with a long breathing tube attached to the abdomen that extends up to the surface of the water. The larvae feed on decaying organic matter and thus make an important contribution to water clarification. | | |

After another 3 days, and 2 further larval stages, the development of the maggots ( now brownish in colour and about 3 mm in length ) is complete. They develop within their third skin into a barrel-shaped pupa and remain there for 4 days. After that, the adult flies of the new generation hatch.
