Solution

The correct option is A Maggot
  • A maggot is the larva of a fly; it is applied in particular to the larvae of Brachyceran flies, such as houseflies, cheese flies and blowflies, rather than larvae of the Nematocera, such as mosquitoes and crane flies.
  • Wriggler- Mosquito larvae.
  • Grub- The larva of an insect, especially of a beetle; called also as grubworm.
  • Caterpillar is the common name for the larvae of members of the order Lepidoptera. As with most common names, the application of the word is arbitrary and the larvae of sawflies commonly are called as caterpillars as well.
