Maggots

[mnunes810]

Oh yes, glorious maggots. Does anyone know what it is they excrete after feeding on carrion? I know of the medical mumbo jumbo about antimicrobial things and what-not, but they must produce something useful to the ground itself, yes?

There are some hints there... but I haven't found if the articles describe the bulk of the excretions - perhaps just some small components that are of importance.
