Maggots - Housefly Larvae - Diptera - Potato - Animal India
Housefly larvae, or maggots, are seen on rotten potatoes in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on September 1, 2025. Flies are drawn to decaying organic matter such as spoiled vegetables, where they lay eggs. The eggs hatch into maggots that feed on the decay and can carry pathogens, before pupating and developing into adult flies. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
