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.
These soon hatch into legless white maggots which after 2 to 5 days of development transform into reddish-brown pupae, about 8 mm (0.3 in) long. Adult flies normally live for 2 to 4 weeks but can hibernate during the winter.
