Maggots feeding on an opossum carrion Maggots on a porcupine carcass Maggots from a rabbit. Common wild pig (boar) corpse decomposition timelapse. Maggots are visible. 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, [1] rather than larvae of the Nematocera, such as mosquitoes and ...
Forensic entomological decomposition is how insects decompose and what that means for timing and information in criminal investigations.Medicolegal entomology is a branch of forensic entomology that applies the study of insects to criminal investigations, and is commonly used in death investigations for estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI).
The primary food source for the subfamily Silphinae is the maggot mass present on the detritus. Nicrophorinae will colonize the body earlier in decomposition in order to avoid competition with maggots. If there is a sufficiently large maggot mass they will not colonize the carcass. The parental care exhibited by this subfamily is that the adult ...
Forensic entomology is a branch of applied entomology that uses insects found on corpses or elsewhere around crime scenes in the interest of forensic science. This includes studying the types of insects commonly found on cadavers , their life cycles, their presence in different environments, and how insect assemblages change with decomposition .
A large number of adult flies and maggots were noticed and gathered inside and near the wounds of the young girl. A number of these maggots were kept and grown to be adult flies (reared), and others were taken in their present state. Pictures were taken and enlarged showing the flies around the body when it was found.
Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) is the medical use of selected, laboratory-raised fly larvae for cleaning nonhealing wounds. Medicinal maggots perform debridement by selectively eating only dead tissue. Lucilia sericata (Phaenicia sericata), or the common green bottlefly, is the preferred species used in maggot therapy.

The Texas parks department says the maggots will lay eggs in "open wounds or orifices of live tissue such as nostrils, eyes or mouth." Such an infestation is known as New World screwworm myiasis.
