Detailed explanation-2: -A maggot is a larva of the common fly. Maggots have soft bodies and no legs, so they look a bit like worms. They usually have a reduced head that can retract into the body. Maggot commonly refers to larvae that live on rotting flesh or tissue debris of animal and plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Invertebrate animals commonly called “worms” include annelids (earthworms and marine polychaete or bristle worms), nematodes (roundworms), platyhelminthes (flatworms), marine nemertean worms ("bootlace worms"), marine Chaetognatha (arrow worms), priapulid worms, and insect larvae such as grubs and maggots.

Detailed explanation-4: -Maggots are caused by the eggs of flies hatching into larvae, also known as maggots. Flies lay their eggs in moisture, such as rotting fruits, vegetables, carrion, or garbage. The eggs hatch within a few days and the emerging maggots feed on the surrounding decaying matter.

Detailed explanation-5: -Parasites-Myiasis Myiasis is the infection of a fly larva (maggot) in human tissue. This occurs in tropical and subtropical areas. Myiasis is rarely acquired in the United States; people typically get the infection when they travel to tropical areas in Africa and South America.
