white worm
Maggot or similar
White worm refers to any of various pale, soft-bodied larvae or worms—particularly the grubs of beetles, maggots, or parasitic worms found in soil, decaying matter, or living hosts.
In fishing, white worms are small worms cultivated as bait.
The term also appears in fantasy and horror fiction for monstrous subterranean creatures: The white worms writhed beneath the garden soil.
