A maggot is the larva of a fly (order Diptera); it is applied in particular to the larvae of Brachycera flies, such as houseflies, cheese flies, and blowflies, rather than larvae of the Nematocera, such as mosquitoes and Crane flies. Maggots have been known to be the 'surviving species' living through apocalyptic events and sustaining life through cell hibernation. Maggots have been known to reanimate after appearing dead for some hours or even days, growing in size and speed to ensure their survival. Freezing maggots or simply squashing them have been the most effective ways to eradicate them, with common methods such as boiling water or insect spray not proving effective and only provoking their hibernating state.
