...to ask what the hell this is? (picture)

This is worming its way across my living room. It moves a bit like a caterpillar but it's a maggotty colour. Tell me it's not a maggot? Bleeurgh.

It's A maggot My typing is rubbish today.

Put it in a ziplock and take a close up

We don't have a cat! Just a (human) toddler. There are no funny smells as far as I can tell. And it's a tiny house so I'm really not sure where this abomination is going to be hiding.

Ugh I feel sick.

(have done a google image search and it's definitely a maggot)

Bottom of the bin? Anything lurking there?

maggoty mcmaggot face. sorry!

It's a very big maggot! Does it have a brownish head? It might be a cockchafer grub.

Have you been out to the bin today? Maybe picked it up on your clothes? Our bin is moving with the bloody things recently. I give it a quick sprat with bleach...

It had a thin black line at the top of its head - kindof inside it if you see what I mean?

I once threw out some cat food that flies had laid eggs on. Didn't think of it again till I went to put the bins out for collection. Lifted the lid and was confronted by the biggest, most foul writhing mass of maggots I have ever seen. Full on wet mouth and stomach churning.

bleugh! Was just about to take rubbish out.. now armed with rubber gloves and spray, just in case!

Diagram of this whole sorry mess.

If it had a black bit at the top it could be a moth larvae.

We had a few and found that some bird peanuts we had bought were infested. Binned them and they stopped

I had no idea they got so big. Best of luck Op.

Loving the diagram!
I'm sorry to say but you'd rarely get only one. You're going to have to pull everything out and do a deep clean.

I cna't see the diagram?!

Ps. Has anyone had itchy bums in your household?

Yes, maggot.

I don't mean to alarm you but AAAAARRRGHHHHHHHHHH

Food waste bins in warm weather were our maggoty culprit last year. Now any meat bones go outside within24 hours of being chucked.

It's not a maggot, it's a grub :)

They're like moth caterpillars, not the gross plague of maggots you find in festering food which are fly babies. Don't kill him just put him outside! Moths are fluffy

I think it's a maggot. I found one in my shower once but never again so fingers crossed you have just got one?

What sort of moth larva do you think, cherries?

Yup - looks like a maggot. At least it's not a carpet beetle larvae
