If however, you are talking about some maggots in a bowl of wet food (either canned food or dry food which got wet or which you deliberately added fluid to) it is a different matter. Maggots come from flies eggs and they take some set period of time to hatch from the eggs.
Within a day, larvae (maggots) hatch from the eggs; they live and feed on (usually dead and decaying) organic material, such as garbage, carrion or feces. They are pale-whitish, 3â9 mm long, thinner at the mouth end, and have no legs. Their life cycle ranges from 14 to 90 days.
