nature's recycling crew that eats death so the rest of us don't have to

means A maggot is the soft, legless larva of a fly, typically found feeding on rotting flesh, decaying matter, or other organic muck.

from From Middle English 'maggot' or 'maddok,' likely an alteration of earlier 'maddok' or 'mathek,' meaning worm or grub, which traces back to Old Norse 'mathkr' (worm) — a cousin of words across the Germanic family for crawling, wriggling things. The same wriggly root may also lie behind 'mawk,' an old dialect word for maggot that gave us 'mawkish' (originally 'maggoty,' then 'sickly,' then 'sentimental'). Curiously, the same word once meant a whimsical or odd notion — to have 'a maggot in the brain' was to be seized by a strange fancy.

medical hire: FDA-approved to clean wounds doctors can't
only liquid: vomits enzymes, slurps food pre-digested
crime witness: their growth stage times a victim's death
protein future: farmed as sustainable feed and human food
no legs: crawls using mouth hooks and muscle waves
