Do houseflies it's eggs in waste and decaying matter?

Yes, houseflies typically lay their eggs in waste and decaying organic matter, such as rotting food, garbage, and animal feces. This choice provides a nutrient-rich environment for the larvae (maggots) once they hatch, allowing them to feed and grow quickly. The presence of these materials is crucial for the survival of the developing flies. This behavior also plays a role in the decomposition process, aiding in the recycling of nutrients in the ecosystem.
