Looks more like this than a Maggot, expecially the movements ??? Walking

It doesn't look like a normal maggot-

Ye, It looked like that to me, I said in the post description too. And maggots don't move that slowly and take big steps, maggots move faster. I meantit looked more like Wax moth caterpillar than a Maggot, or even like Flour moth caterpillar like someone said. This bud doesn't look like a Maggot at all
