The purring maggot is currently the only creature that can be Template:Led. You cannot embark with purring maggots. Dwarven Template:L (made from Template:L, which is milked from purring maggots) is currently the most valuable food (100 per cheese) with the exception of butchered Template:Ls.
Purring maggots can be caught in Template:L with Template:L or Template:L for bait. They aren't visible before they are caught. The only way to make sure whether a Template:L contains them or not is by just trying to catch some.
If you find a map with purring maggots and wish to milk them, be sure to keep them in a fairly remote area of your fortress - while some dwarves detest purring maggots, any nearby dwarf will claim one as a meal if he happens to get hungry. Should this happen, Template:Lding it after it has been picked up will cause the dwarf to drop it on the floor, where it will wander around. To recapture a dropped maggot, ensure that an animal trap is available nearby (and that all other animal traps have been forbidden), then issue a "Capture Live Animal" task at a Template:L - a Template:L should come along, pick up the animal trap, and capture the nearest vermin (which, hopefully, will be the purring maggot).
Each maggot can only be milked once per season. Tamed maggots cannot be milked.
