  1. If the fly had been dead for a day or so, they are likely maggots, the larval stage of the fly lifecycle just past the egg.  If the fly was just swatted, it might be parasites infesting the fly.  The reference lists some candidates.


  2. maggets maybe if they are white

  3. ewww they are probably larva kill them quickly ewww

  4. Yeah, I think Sierra is right....lol....larva...baby maggots. Not sure how a housefly lays its babies on dead things. If the maggots are live-born or if they are eggs and then hatch into maggots. Either way they are probably maggots.
