A characteristic feature of rat-tailed maggots is a tube-like, telescoping breathing siphon located at their posterior end. [2] This acts like a snorkel, allowing the larva to breathe air while submerged. The siphon is usually about as long as the maggot's body (20 mm (0.79 in) when mature), but can be extended as long as 150 mm (5.9 in).

In biology, a biological life cycle (or just life cycle when the biological context is clear) is a series of stages of the life of an organism, that begins as a zygote, often in an egg, and concludes as an adult that reproduces, producing an offspring in the form of a new zygote which then itself goes through the same series of stages, the ...
Delia platura, the seedcorn maggot or the bean seed fly, is a fly species in the family Anthomyiidae. [2] D. platura is an agricultural pest of peas and beans. It is a vector of bacteria that cause potato blackleg. [3] [4] No-till fields are generally less attractive to egg-laying females. [5]
