Did you just find some maggots in your home or yard? Maggots can appear in different areas around your house, including the backyard, and sometimes even on pets.
The term ‘maggot’ refers to the larvae of dipteran flies such as common housefly, bluebottles, and blowflies. These flies are distinguished by their small bodies and antennae.
Maggots resemble tiny cream-colored worms, and the largest can grow to be 3/4th of an inch long. Maggots don’t have any legs, but they do have two tiny hooks that they use to eat with.
