Maggots: Larva Stage

A maggot is the larval stage of the fly life cycle, famous

for eating decomposing flesh.Sometimes "maggot" is used

to refer to the larval stage of any insect.Maggots are generally

4 to 12 mm in length depending on their stage of growth. Most

maggots range from on off-white color to a light brown,

though some can be a yellow or reddish color. Like other

insects such as fleas and ticks, maggots can be a threat to

household pets and livestock, so be careful and watch out for

them.

I kind of find this interesting because I never knew that the larva

of any other insect could also be called maggots, which I find weird.

Although this passage is disgusting, it is also interesting to find out

some different facts about life.
