Second instar Blowfly larvae. Genera distinguished by visualisation of mouthparts and presence or absence of accessory oral sclerite. Though I'm less of an entomologist so there may be differences in spiracles I am not aware of!
Maggot, not sure of the species, the spiracle is only 2 pairs, not triads. Usually for fun, I put them in a urine cup to mature to confirm my identification!
maggots?
ReplyDeleteMaggot. ? Calliphora species and really rooting for C. vomitoria.

ReplyDeleteThe insects' morphology is compatible with blow fly maggots. Would any entomologist give us more information please?
