No, they are an insect larvae, usually of flies.
Yes, bacteria and maggots are both decomposers. Bacteria break down organic matter into simpler compounds, while maggots feed on decaying organic material, accelerating the decomposition process. Both play crucial roles in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
The decomposers that decompose humans an mountain lions are fly maggots and bacteria.
Yes, some fish can eat maggots as they are a good source of protein. However, it is important to ensure that the maggots are from a clean source and free from any harmful chemicals or bacteria as this could potentially harm the fish.
bacteria/ maggots etc are produced by the item which is rotting, rather than causing the rot to occur
Yes, but so do many other things like fly larvae called maggots.
DO NOT FEED THEM MAGGOTS. not meaning to be harsh, but maggots hold lots of bacteria, even if they are bred. they eat dead or rotten animals, or plants, but whatever they eat, your beardie eats, and your beardie could get very sick
Crows and vultures will eat carrion (animal carcasses). Bacteria, and insects such as fly maggots, will finish the job.

No they will not. Although maggots can eat sugar, they prefer rotting flesh and fruits for the bacteria which provide them nutrients.
Maggots are the larvae of certain insects, in particular flies. Some kinds of maggots are used medically to debride wounds; one use of this is to thoroughly clean out MRSA infections as the maggots eat dead flesh but avoid living tissue. Other kinds of maggots can be parasitic, though, and those are probably the ones you're talking about; they're dangerous because, well, "parasitic" pretty much says it. Also, since maggots are fly larvae and flies frequently carry disease, maggots can be a source of infection as well (the medical maggots are specifically disinfected to avoid this).
Yes, you can freeze maggots, but doing so will kill them. Freezing is an effective method for preserving them if you need to store them for later use, such as for fishing bait. However, it's important to ensure that the freezing process is quick enough to prevent any potential spoilage of the surrounding material. Always handle maggots and other insects with care, as they can carry bacteria.
Some maggots such as housefly maggots prefer decomposing meat or flesh. Although some maggots live in decomposing logs or trees. These are just a few places where maggots live.
