The idea was forwarded by [[Meph]], who drew it. This in turn spawned a discussion as to where the maggots in the cheese came from, as the milked maggot remains outside the cheese. Do the maggots lay, or contain, smaller maggots? Do they form maggot-chains, or are they like Matryoshka dolls? Maybe the "purring" of the purring maggot is a bunch of maggots inside the maggot, making a purring noise as they move around.

		+	'''Purring maggots''' are a type of [[cavern]]-living [[vermin]] notable for being the only underground source of [[milk]], known as [[dwarven milk]]. They can be obtained by [[Trapper\|trapping]] them with [[animal trap]]s. They are [[hateable]] vermin and will inspire an unhappy [[thought]] in [[dwarves]] that detest them.
		+
		+	To obtain these maggots you will need to discover the 2nd or 3rd cavern layer, then construct ({{k-\|b\|m}}) [[animal trap]]s on cave moss there. Use {{k\|q}} to set meat/fish for bait. A higher quality trap will increase the chances of catching a purring maggot instead of losing the bait.
		+
		+	Some dwarves [[Preference\|like]] purring maggots for their ''comforting whirs''.
