[39f] Purring maggot meat

I could request purring maggot meat from my dwarven civ, and they brought it the next year.

Mmm, chewy.

Something that's bothered me ever since I first became aware of this game's existence is just what the Hell does a purring maggot look like, anyway?  Even though I've never personally seen a hoary marmot or a giant cave spider in real life, I can pretty much guess what they're supposed to look like.  But purring maggots?  My best guess is that they're like a sort of cat that doesn't have any legs, and just squirms from place to place, but I could be way off.

Big maggots. They just make sounds similar to purring. :-\

But they've gotta be mammals, because you can MILK them.

It doesn't necessarily have to be mammalian milk, it could be some sort of secretion.

Like ants and the aphids/mealybugs that they 'farm' for the honeydew secretions.
