The purring maggot is currently the only creature that can be milked. You cannot embark with purring maggots. Dwarven cheese (made from dwarven milk, which is milked from purring maggots) is currently most the valuable food (100 per cheese) with the exception of butchered megabeasts.
Purring maggots can be caught in animal traps with meat or fish for bait. They aren't visible before they are caught. The only way to make sure whether a chasm contains them or not is by just trying to catch some.
If you find a map with purring maggots and domesticate them (dungeon master is needed to tame them), be sure to keep them in an area away from most of your dwarves, because like all vermin, some dwarves find them disgusting. And on the flipside, some find them delicious.
Tamed maggots cannot be milked, and each maggot can only be milked once per season.
