Rat-tailed Maggots

The rat tailed maggot is the immature or larval stage of a fly that resembles a honey bee. These 3/4 inch long whitish larvae are different from other fly maggots in having a 1/2 inch long "tail" that is used as a breathing tube when they are in the water.

Large numbers can be present in most any accumulation of stagnant water, such as manure pits or lagoons, where they feed on decaying organic matter. The maggots become a nuisance when they crawl away from their breeding site to find a dry place where they can transform to the adult stage. In the wandering stage, hundreds of maggots may enter milking parlors, milk rooms, feed rooms, or other areas. They are harmless; small numbers can be swept up and thrown away.
